Street urchins popularly known as area boys who disappeared from Lagos Island when the current Oba of Lagos, Oba Babatunde Rilwan Akiolu, ascended the throne, have returned in full force to the area. Investigation revealed that the area boys who were chased away by Oba Akiolu last year when he was coronated have returned and they now terrorise traders and residents, especially, those around the popular Idumota market, demanding money from them. PMNews also gathered that the area boys molest load carriers in the area by demanding money from them. Anyone who refused to pay is attacked, a resident told PMNews.
