About 5,000 political thugs are allegedly being trained in Lagos State ahead of the 2015 general elections.
The Youths are said to have been recruited and trained under the name of FERMA Federal Task Force at the Old Tollgate near 7Up Bottling Company, the former yard of the Federal Road Maintenance Agency, FERMA.
According to PM NEWS, the youths will undergo intensive training somewhere in Badagry and they will then be drafted to all southwest states under the guise of maintaining and protecting Federal Government roads. A top PDP chieftain in the southwest zone is alleged to be involved in the recruitment and training of the youths.
The new taskforce will be playing the same role with the Federal Road Safety Corps, FRSC, although they are not backed by any law.
The Lagos state governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola,last weekend raised alarm about the presence of the trainee thugs during an interview with Vanguard.
The FERMA has on its part denied any knowledge of the trainee programme saying it has no hand in any group operating under the name of FERMA Federal Task Force and carrying out recruitment and paramilitary training for youths in Lagos.
