Following the large scale destruction of private and public properties in Lagos State by some hoodlums that went on rampage last week over purported shooting of Lekki Toll Gate #EndSars protesters by yet to be identified military personnel, the Lawmaker representing Kosofe Constituency 1 in Lagos state House of Assembly Hon. Sanni Ganiyu Okanlawon has called for immediate arrest and prosecution of the hoodlums as well as creation of state police to guard against future occurrence.

 

 

Speaking at the special plenary of Lagos State House of Assembly yesterday, Hon. Sanni Okanlawon stated that the destruction of private and public properties in Lagos State by rampaging hoodlums was of catastrophic proportion and described the act as wanton, unacceptable and insane.

 

 

He pointed out that the totality of wanton destruction of lives and properties, desecration of cultural heritage and looting was a very dark moment in the annals of Lagos state and a collateral damage to the pride and ego of the people of the state.

 

 

He therefore urged the state government to immediately commence the reflation of the economy and compensation to those who had suffered great losses from the orgy of violence in the state.  

 

 

And while expressing his sympathy to Oba of Lagos, Rilwan Akinolu; the security agents, Corporate Organisations and other individuals who have suffered great losses as a result of the violent incidence, he called for the arrest and prosecution of the perpetrators of the act as well as establishment of state police in order to streamline Lagos state security and protect lives and properties as stipulated in the constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria.

 

 

His words: “I candidly want to advise this august house that we should take our destiny in our hands. The idea of centralize police is no longer fashionable. We must clamour for state police now more than ever. We must clamour for community policing. Our neighbourhood watchers, Amotekun must be strengthened even weaponized.

 

“See what has happened to Lagos. It has taken us 15 years back. State police is what we must yearn for right now. Any constitutional amendment without state police is a joke. We must take our destiny in our hands. We do have inalienable rights to defend our lives and properties as guaranteed by the constitution. Section 14 2b says the security and welfare of the people belongs to the government. Which of the government? Is it only the federal government? No. It includes State government and Local government. And section 33 subsection 1 says that everybody has a right to life and no one must be deprived intentionally of his life”.
