Lagos State House of Assembly has called on Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to convene a security council meeting to curb the rising spate of killing of residents by men in uniform.
The lawmakers at a plenary presided over by the Speaker of the House, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, lamented that the killings have so far taken the same pattern with men in uniform being allegedly mentioned.
In a statement by his chief press secretary, Eromosele Ebhomele stressed that security of life and property is one essence of government, adding that, “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.”
