 RE: MISLEADING CLAIMS REGARDING EXTORTION OF MOTORISTS BY LAGOS STATE TASKFORCE – YET-TO-BE-IDENTIFIED SECURITY OPERATIVES: ANOTHER CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY The Lagos State Taskforce wishes to address a misleading narrative circulating on social media, particularly in a viral video shared by protesters and concerned groups who recently demonstrated at the Lagos State House of Assembly. The protest was in response to the alleged extortion of motorists by security operatives, yet to be identified, who are not officials of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Unit. We categorically state that the Lagos State Taskforce had no involvement in the said incident. Our enforcement teams are led by seasoned, well-trained, and highly disciplined senior officers who are far too professional and educated to jeopardise their ranks, integrity, and years of service for personal gain. For clarity, our agency does not operate on BRT corridors, nor were any of our personnel deployed to...

 FG to go after economic saboteurs next year —Senate Leader


Leader of the Senate, Senator Opeyemi Bamidele has said that the Federal Government would  from next year, go after economic saboteurs, who have made lives difficult and unbearable for Nigerians.


Bamidele also insisted that the National Assembly would pass the 2024 appropriations bill on December 30, to sustain the January-December budget cycle.


He made this disclosure at a session with journalists in Iyin Ekiti, saying all federal lawmakers would have to cut short their holidays to ensure speedy passage of the 2024 appropriations bill.


At the session, Bamidele expressed concerns about the activities of economic saboteurs, who were doing everything to keep exchange rates high against the Naira or trying to make the Naira unavailable to the people who kept their money in banks.


He, therefore, revealed that the Federal Government “will, from next year, go after economic saboteurs, who are making life difficult and unbearable for Nigerians. The Federal Government will charge, prosecute and punish them for their acts of economic sabotage.


“All these will take place next year. In the long run, those who mopped up the Naira and Dollars from the markets will face the consequences of their actions. Those who mopped up the Dollars to keep commodity prices high will definitely not escape justice.


“Those who are speculating are also on the watch list of the federal government. At some points, the federal government will have to go after them,” the senate leader revealed the plan of the federal government.


Beyond all these activities of economic saboteurs, Bamidele assured Nigerians that Nigeria would witness a true era of Renewed Hope that would herald development, progress and prosperity, citing diverse plans the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu had put in place to transform the national economy.


Meanwhile, the Senate has postponed  its plenary sitting from Friday to Saturday to enable it pass the 2024 Appropriation  Bill that  was forwarded to it  by President Bola Tinubu.


The Senate had last week adjourned  plenary to Friday this week for members to celebrate the Christmas with their families  and friends.


A statement by the Clerk of  Senate, Chinedu Akubueze, yesterday, said: “This is to inform Senators that the plenary sitting of the Senate, which was scheduled to be held on Friday, has been postponed to Saturday. Any inconvenience that this shift may cause to Senators is regretted.”
