Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has condemned the attack on a State- regulated Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) bus by hoodlums who robbed passengers of their belongings, vowing that those involved in the act, which he described as disturbing, would be made to face the law.
It would be recalled that last week, a BRT bus with the identification number 240216, traveling from Mile 2 Terminal to Lagos Island, was attacked by suspected hoodlums in broad daylight around Alaba Suru, where occupants were robbed of their belongings.
The State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, was quoting Mr. Governor on Tuesday during an X Space discussion on the topic, “Vandalism of Public Facilities: The Role of Residents and Government.”
Omotoso made this known on “Ask Lagos,” a programme on which the Commissioner engages people on matters of interest to Lagosians.
The commissioner disclosed that Governor Sanwo-Olu had directed the security agents in the state to after the culprits, pointing out that people must know that such actions would have consequences,“It is disturbing. Security agents are going after them. They will be made to face the law. People must know that such actions will have consequences”, Omotoso quoted Governor Sanwo-Olu. (Tribune)
