Lagos Assembly Urges Sanwo-Olu To Convene Security Meeting Over Recent Killings

 

 

 

The Lagos State House of Assembly has called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to convene a security council meeting in the State with a bid to stemming the rising spate of killings of residents by men in uniform.

At a plenary presided over by the Speaker of the House, Rt. Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, on Tuesday, the lawmakers lamented that the killings have so far taken the same pattern with men in uniform being allegedly mentioned.

Dr. Obasa, who stressed that security of lives and property is one essence of government, added: “Where we begin to have one, two, three killings in the State, it definitely calls for concern.

“I quite agree with the prime mover of the motion to call on Mr. Governor to quickly hold a meeting with all heads of security agencies in Lagos State to nip this in the bud.

“At least three people have been declared dead, said to be killed by men in either Police or Army uniforms and we cannot conclude if they are security men or otherwise.”

Reacting to the recent fracas between some Army personnel and officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA), the Speaker urged for professionalism and decorum.

Earlier speaking under ‘Matter of Urgent Public Importance’, Hon. Kehinde Joseph (Alimosho 2) called the attention of his colleagues to the recent killings saying the incidents called for concern.

Hon. Joseph recalled that earlier in August, 2023, a resident, Adeniyi Sanni, was murdered. He said there were two other incidents on August 17 and August 19.

“The funny thing is that the series of killings took the same pattern. Adeniyi Sanni’s wife told me that her husband was stopped at a checkpoint by men in military uniforms. They requested for documents which the wife sent through WhatsApp to him. His corpse was later found somewhere.

“Same was the case of Mr. Lawal who was stopped and asked for his documents. They later dropped his corpse in Iyana-Ipaja area,” he said.

He moved that the police be called upon to step up security of the State while the military should fish out the men who perpetrate such crimes with Army uniforms. He added that the Governor should act to stem such killings.

In his contribution, Hon. Bonu Solomon Saanu (Badagry 1) observed that it was becoming increasingly difficult to know a fake security personnel.

Obasa Felicitates President Tinubu @ 74, says Renewed Hope Agenda is steering Nigeria toward stability and prosperity

 

The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. (Dr.) Mudashiru Obasa has congratulated President Bola Ahmed Tinubu on his 74th birthday, commending him for fulfilling his Renewed Hope Agenda promises to Nigerians.

Speaker Obasa’s birthday message is contained in a statement signed by Adeshina Oyetayo, his Special Adviser on Research, Media, and Documentation.

Speaker Obasa described the President as a purposeful and pragmatic leader whose commitment to enthroning a peaceful and prosperous Nigeria should be appreciated by all

“Mr. President, today should be a national day of celebration honouring your selfless and visionary leadership.

“I commend your courage and conviction to initiate and implement necessary economic reforms that have pulled Nigeria out of the doldrums, stabilized the nation, and set it on the path of prosperity.”

Speaker Obasa said that those otherwise painful reforms are now being hailed as ingenious and effective worldwide, citing a January 2026 article in the influential The Economist magazine titled “Nigeria’s economy may be back from the brink.”

The article acknowledged that President Tinubu’s reforms are beginning to yield bountiful returns as evidenced in the easing of headline inflation for the 11th consecutive month, unification of the foreign exchange market, and foreign reserves rising to $46billion.

Notably, the article also referenced the International Monetary Fund (IMF)’s upgraded 4.4% GDP growth forecast for 2026 despite global headwinds, while stating unequivocally that Nigeria’s golden years will return under President Tinubu.

Speaker Obasa said that this submission by an international journal signifies that Nigeria is in safe hands under President Tinubu. He, therefore, urged Nigerians to rally round him and support his re-election bid, promising that the gains of the Renewed Hope agenda will reach every household.

“Our prayer is that the Almighty will grant our dear President long life in robust health and the strength and wisdom to help him achieve the Nigeria of our collective dreams,” Speaker Obasa concluded.
