Military and Police Officers, Lagos Law Breakers

The Lagos State government has accused law enforcement agents on the rising rate of crimes in Lagos.
The state’s deputy governor Dr. Idiat Oluranti Adebule revealed this  while fielding questions from journalists shortly after monitoring the November edition of the state’s environmental sanitation exercise in

Adebule said the military and officers did not only disregard the state’s environmental laws but were caught helping to drive commercial vehicles to violate the laws in their uniforms, wielding guns.
She said, “We have gone round Lagos especially Ajeromi-Ifelodun Local Government. We are dissatisfied with the level of compliance to the sanitation law. There was clear disregard for the sanitation law. I am using this opportunity to appeal to the officers of Nigerian Army and other security agencies to desist from violating the law.
“I discovered that the military officers, police are the one leading the violation in the state. I want to urge their heads to call them to order. They must lead by example.
“They are the law enforcement officers in the country. But it is pathetic that they are violating the law. We will appreciate if they comply with the sanitation law. It is very important to us.
“They should please save the law. They should own it. When we do this, we will be able to feel the impact of clean environment that leads to good health. I want to urge that within the three hours stipulated for the sanitation, they should call one another and clean their environment.”
For those that were arrested, Adebule said the state government has no option than to ensure that they are prosecuted in accordance with the state’s environmental laws.
