 Our thoughts are with Florida State University. Sadly, a young man opened fire at the school today. Two individuals lives were lost. They were not students. Five other individuals are hospitalized.  The shooter, Phoenix Ikner, is the son of a local deputy and unfortunately used one of her former weapons in the attack. His mother has been with the local sheriff's department for 18 years. She is highly respected and well liked. Her son, the assailant, was also very involved in the Leon County Sheriff's Department helping with their juvenile programs.  I will edit and update with more details. I am in the middle of an unrelated interview right now.  Phoenix Ikner is in custody. Phoenix is a 20 year old student of FSU. He is described as "just a normal guy".  Our thoughts are with absolutely everyone involved.

LAGOS TASKFORCE CLEARS ILLEGAL STRUCTURES ALONG RAIL TRACK AT FAGBA


The Lagos State Taskforce has cleared shanties and make-shift structures built haphazardly along the rail tracks and environs at Fagba. 

The exercise which kicked off in the wee hours of Saturday was led by the Chairman of the Agency, CSP Shola Jejeloye who decried the state of decadence brought about by squatters in the area. 

He said, ā€œWe had served the squatters here an eviction notice on the 20th of June but it is obvious they thought we were bluffing. We will carry out our operation with minimal force and ensure that the entire shanties are removedā€.

Jejeloye further disclosed that the clearing exercise is scheduled in phases to ensure that squatters do not return to constitute a nuisance in the area. He noted that the same method of operation utilized in Lekki shanties would also be replicated in Fagba and its environs. 

ā€œThe plan of the State Government to completely reclaim the portion of roads occupied by squatter is non-negotiable. The enforcement takes place first, followed by monitoring and then sustenance. We will ensure these sites are monitored till they are fully occupied and put to good use by the State Governmentā€, he added.

The Chairman attributed some of the criminal activities in Fagba/Agege axis to miscreants who make use of the shanties by the railway tracks as a hideout. He disclosed that some harmful weapons and illicit drugs, belonging to some of the squatters were recovered from the shanties during the clearing exercise.

According to him, ā€œResidents are excited seeing us clear out these structures due to the criminal haven it has become. They have complained of pick-pocketing, stealing and robbery usually perpetrated by the squatters but it is now a thing of the pastā€.

Jejeloye assured Lagosians that the operation would be extended to Pen Cinema and environs till serenity and safety are guaranteed. He, therefore, urged residents in the State to support the State Government's efforts in ensuring that acts that could be harmful to the environment are reported to the Agency for prompt action.
