Superintendent of police (Supol), Dominic Ubot, was sipping the last cup of local palm wine, IKOT 4、 He was not in a hurry to leave the palm wine joint on that cool saturday evening. Anytime from 6、00pm, the bar would come alive with patrons from the neighborhood who had one thing in common: low profile folks in quest for low profile booze. 'The people's bar ' was just one of several others that inundated the Ajegunle neighborhood of Lagos Nigeria- an area largely inhabited by the dregs of society. Yes, only this group could patronize the filthy environment of Ajegunle. They could also make...
