In order to ensure that yuletide season is devoid of criminal
activities, Lagos State government yesterday warned residents that take
delight in flouting its law to desist, saying anyone caught committing
any form of crime will be prosecuted.
The commissioner for Special
Duties and Inter-governmental Relations, Mr. Seye Oladejo, who dangled
the axe at a press briefing held in Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre located
in the state’s secretariat, said the state government is determined to
ensure that the yuletide season is devoid of traffic gridlock and
criminal activities across the metropolis.
Oladejo flanked by the
state’s commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde
said the government was concerned about the menace which petrol tankers
and other articulated vehicles have become on Lagos roads, as well as
the incessant fire incidents and needless road traffic and accidents
which have led to loss of lives and properties.
He said the state
government has put adequate measures in place to ensure that residents
go about their activities with much ease during the festive period
including total enforcement of the traffic and safety laws.
“It is
not enough to have safety regulations, they must be enforced and
complied with to prevent avoidable loss of lives, properties and
injuries.
“As a government which cares about the safety of lives
and properties, nothing short of strict adherence to safety rules will
be acceptable, relevant provisions of the law will be applied against
erring individuals and organisations”, he said.
