WITHDRAWAL OF LAGOS STATE ENVIRONMENTAL SANITATION AND SPECIAL OFFENCES UNIT (TASKFORCE) FROM TRAFFIC CONTROL DUTIES

The Lagos State Police Command wishes to inform the general public that the Commissioner of Police, CP Tijani Fatai, psc, mnips, has directed the immediate and complete withdrawal of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Unit (Taskforce) from traffic control and traffic contravention enforcement across the State.

This directive is part of ongoing efforts to streamline traffic management operations and ensure professionalism, accountability, and clarity in the discharge of duties. It is important to note that while the unit has been withdrawn from traffic-related responsibilities, all other assigned duties and operational mandates of the unit remain fully in force.

The Command also wishes to enlighten members of the public that the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation and Special Offences Unit is not the only Taskforce operating within Lagos State. Residents and motorists are therefore strongly advised to always verify the identity of personnel and agencies before making allegations or assertions, particularly in matters relating to traffic enforcement.

The Lagos State Police Command remains committed to safeguarding lives and property while ensuring that all operations within the State are carried out in accordance with the law and best practices. Members of the public are encouraged to remain law-abiding and cooperate with all legitimate security agencies.

Lagos Assembly Proposes Relocation of Makoko Residents to Epe After Waterfront Demolitions

The Lagos State House of Assembly has proposed the relocation of residents from the Makoko, Oko-Agbon and Sogunro waterfront communities to Agbowa in Epe Local Government Area following the controversial demolition of structures in the areas.

The recommendation came after the House adopted a report by its Standing Committee on Rules and Business, which investigated the demolition exercise that displaced several residents living around the waterfront communities.

The Lagos State Government had in December 2025 commenced the demolition of what it described as illegal structures located around areas adjoining the Third Mainland Bridge. The operation led to the displacement of many residents who had lived in the waterfront settlements for decades.

The demolition sparked protests from affected residents, who later submitted a petition to the Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, seeking the intervention of the legislature.

Following the petition, the Assembly ordered a temporary suspension of the demolition exercise and launched an inquiry into the matter.

Presenting the committee’s report during plenary, the Chairman of the Committee, Noheem Adams, disclosed that the panel held five separate meetings with representatives of the affected communities. The committee also carried out inspection visits to the communities alongside officials from relevant government agencies.

According to Adams, the demolition resulted in the destruction of several homes and properties, leaving many residents displaced and worsening the already difficult living conditions in the settlements.

The committee further noted that the affected communities largely depend on fishing as their primary source of livelihood and have maintained their presence in the waterfront areas for several decades.

As part of its recommendations, the Assembly urged the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, to direct the Special Adviser on E-GIS to review and verify the enumeration report submitted by the Makoko, Oko-Agbon and Sogunro communities.

Lawmakers also proposed that displaced residents be relocated to a proposed low-cost housing estate to be developed in Agbowa, Epe, where they would be able to continue their fishing activities.

In addition, the committee advised the state government to involve the Oloto of the Otto family in the development of the proposed water city project and recognise the family as the original landowners.

Earlier in February 2026, the Lagos State Government announced plans to invest about $10 million in a water city project aimed at modernising fishing communities in the area

It was gathered that the proposed relocation and development plans are part of ongoing efforts by the state government to restructure waterfront settlements while improving living conditions and economic opportunities for residents.

“‎STATE POLICE: LAGOS IS READY” – LNSA

‎

‎The General Manager of the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency (LNSA), Prince Dr. Ifalade Oyekan, FISN, has declared that Lagos State is fully prepared for the establishment of State Police, affirming that the state’s existing security framework is well-positioned for the transition.

‎

‎In a recent interview with journalists, Prince Oyekan noted that the Agency, widely regarded as a pioneer of community policing in Nigeria, is strategically structured to evolve into a state security apparatus once the legal framework for State Police is enacted.

He explained that the LNSA has undergone significant restructuring and re-engineering to align with modern safety and security demands, adopting a proactive, technology-backed and intelligence-driven model across the state.

‎

‎“We are not designed to merely react to incidents,” he stated. “Our Corps Officers are trained to anticipate, prevent, and mitigate security threats before they occur.”

‎

‎Prince Oyekan, who was recently reappointed for a second five-year term by the Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, reaffirmed the Agency’s commitment to strengthening grassroots security architecture.

He emphasised that under Governor Sanwo-Olu’s leadership, the Agency and its Corps arm will continue to evolve into a modern, efficient, and responsive safety institution capable of advancing the vision of a safer Lagos.

𝐋𝐚𝐠𝐨𝐬 𝐀𝐏𝐂 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐎𝐣𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢 𝐚𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬

Barring any last minute change, the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State has settled for Pastor Cornelius Ojelabi as consensus chairman for another four year term.

The decision, reached by party leaders after a series of consultations, clears the path for Ojelabi’s return as head of the party when the state congress holds on Tuesday, 3 March 2026, at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena.

Sources within the party disclosed that the congress is expected to be largely ceremonial, as stakeholders have agreed to retain the current executive members, except those who have taken up other assignments.

A party chieftain, who spoke on Monday, said although there were the usual grievances that followed the recent local government primaries, Ojelabi’s overall performance earned him the confidence of the leadership.

Apart from the complaints that typically trail primaries, which are not unusual in party politics, he has done creditably well, the source said, adding that leaders believe continuity will strengthen the party ahead of future political engagements.

Another senior party figure confirmed that Tuesday’s gathering would essentially serve as an affirmation of the existing state executive council.

With the consensus arrangement in place, attention now shifts to the congress venue, where delegates are expected to formally ratify the leadership decision and usher in what party insiders describe as a new phase of consolidation for the Lagos APC
