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.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reportedly deployed 1,889 personnel across Kano State ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.
This was done to ensure the safety of people traveling in and out of the state during the festive period.
In a statement, the agency said: “The special patrol is part of routine operational measures introduced during festive periods when there is usually high traffic volume on major roads.”
“The aim is to reduce road traffic crashes, minimise congestion, and ensure the safety of lives and property during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.”
The All Progressives Congress Lagos State chapter has released the names of its candidates for the House of Representatives in the 2027 elections.
The winners of Ikeja, Agege, and Ikorodu federal constituencies are James Abiodun Faleke (Ikeja Federal Constituency), Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa (Agege Federal Constituency), and Babajimi Benson (Ikorodu Federal Constituency).
Others include Muftau Egberongbe (Apapa), Moses Olanrewaju (Amuwo-Odofin), Adeyemi Alli (Mushin I), Moses Oluwatosin Fayinka (Mushin II), and Fuad Kayode Laguda (Surulere I).
It has been reported that the Ebola virus is rising again and there have been some cases. This has caused fear in many, with talks of different viruses spreading.
Amid this concern, the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) reassured the people that no trace of Ebola has been confirmed in the country, despite the outbreak in Africa.
FAAN shared that they have been on the lookout for travellers who may have symptoms, and so far there is none.
