Lagos Assembly Directs Security Agencies To Intensify Intelligence Gathering With Latest Apparatuses
Lagos Lawmakers on Monday called on the Commissioner of Police, CP Olohunda Moshood Jimoh and other security agents in the state to intensify intelligence gathering with latest security apparatuses as well take decisive actions, including arrest and rehabilitation of miscreants extorting motorists across the state.
This resolution was raised Under Matter of Urgent Public Importance by Hon. Ganiyu Sanni, who decried the increasing cases of extortion by street urchins and miscreants on Lagos roads.
He further described the situation as unacceptable and called for urgent intervention to protect road users.
Supporting the motion, Hon. Kehinde Joseph noted that this growing trend posed a serious threat to the safety and sanity of road transportation in the State.
Emphasizing the need for active surveillance, Hon. Desmond Elliot suggested the involvement of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA), noting that many of the offenders act under the influence of hard substances.
Lending his voice, Hon. Aro Moshood urged the Commissioner of Police to deploy officers mainly for dedicated road monitoring. “It is high time the government takes the bull by the horns,” he said.
Commending the mover of the motion, Hon. Adebola Shabi called on local governments chairmen to devise effective strategies to combat the menace.
He further recommended the installation of CCTV cameras at identified black spots and creation of more employment for the youths.
Subsequently, Hon. Obafemi Saheed saud that the government has invested heavily on security and that the state must not let this trend continue.
In another development, the House mandated all the sub-committees to carry out its functions effectively and commence the quarterly review of the Y2025 Budget immediately to ensure timely assessment, and avoid spillovers.
In the same vein, the Committee on Economic Planning and Budget is to report its findings to the House.
The House later adjourned sine die.
