MEN of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps were allegedly attacked by men of the Nigerian Armed Forces while on official duty to demolish illegal structures by the fence of Yaba College Of Technology, Lagos.
This was reported by the State’s Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab on Tuesday.
Wahab however thanked the Chief of Army, Lieutenant T. Lagbaja and the Director of Chaplain Services, Lt. Col. T.E. Ogbonyomi for their timely intervention.
“Earlier today, officers of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI), lawfully engaged in their duties in Yaba, were subjected to an unprovoked attack by personnel of the Nigerian Army under the directive of Major Adebiyi and Captain Gowon.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General T. Lagbaja, and the Director of Chaplain Services, Lt. Col. T.E. Ogbonyomi, for their swift and decisive intervention in support of civil authorities. Their leadership has ensured that KAI officers continue to carry out their responsibilities without further disruption, reinforcing the principle that military personnel are subject to the authority of civil governance within their jurisdictions.
We strongly condemn this unwarranted and unacceptable assault on officers executing their lawful duties. Moving forward, such acts will not be tolerated.
We remain committed to ensuring a #CleanerLagos by upholding safety and sanitation standards across the state.”
