Lagos Condemns Army Attack on Sanitation Officers
The Lagos State Government condemned the “unprovoked attack” on the Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI) by Nigerian Army personnel in Yaba. Commissioner for the Environment, Tokunbo Wahab, reported that the incident occurred while KAI officers were performing their lawful duties.
The situation was quickly controlled thanks to Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General T. Lagbaja and Lt. Col. T.E. Ogbonyomi. Wahab expressed gratitude for their intervention, allowing KAI officers to continue their work without disruption. He emphasized that military personnel must respect civil authority and that such attacks on law enforcement will not be tolerated.
Wahab stated, “We strongly condemn this unwarranted assault on officers executing their duties. We are committed to maintaining a cleaner Lagos while upholding safety and sanitation standards.” This incident follows a September case where a suspect was arrested for assaulting a Ministry of Environment staff member while resisting arrest after defecating on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Catholics across Benue State came together on Thursday in a heartfelt prayer walk, seeking God’s help for peace to return to the troubled region. The walk, which drew large crowds from different parishes, was marked by hymns, placards, and quiet reflection. Priests, religious groups, and lay faithful joined in solidarity as they moved through the streets.
They also prayed for the victims of the recent violence, including those killed in the attack on Yelwata, Guma Local Government Area, where many lives were lost. Those who took part in the procession spoke out about the rising insecurity and called for healing, unity, and a renewed sense of justice in the state.
