 An Indiana high-school girls' basketball game ended in tragedy after a referee collapsed on court.  On the night of December 12th, the girls' basketball team at Monrovia High School was playing Speedway High School. With only 6 minutes left in the second quarter, an emergency halted the game, and fans were evacuated from the gymnasium.  Sadly, a long-time referee, Jeff Tamarri, had collapsed while officiating the game. A defibrillator was reportedly used within a minute of his collapse, and EMTs arrived just moments later. Sadly, despite everyone's best efforts, Jeff was pronounced deceased on scene by EMTs. Monrovia High School said they will have counselors available for students who may be affected by Tamarri's sudden passing. Our thoughts are with the family of Jeff Tamarri as well as the community as a whole.

LASG COMMENCES REMOVAL OF STRUCTURES ON SYSTEM I DRAINAGE RIGHT OF WAY. (PHOTO). #PRESS RELEASE.


 Action Follows Expiration of Mandatory Served Notices     


    

The Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources on Monday commenced the removal of all contravening structures under the System I drainage channel midstream (Odo Iya Alaro) Ojota and Ogudu.


The removal exercise, which followed the expiration of several served contravention notices on the property owners, was carried out by operatives of the Drainage Enforcement and Compliance (DEC) with security backup from the Task Force on Special Offences and other agencies.

The Ministry had also explored consultative stakeholders’ meetings that involved members of the Legislative Assembly, one of which was held on December 21, 2023, to find possible solutions.


At one of such meetings convened by the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, with House of Assembly members representing. Kosofe I, Hon. Sanni Okanlawon in attendance, none of the property owners could provide evidence of titles to the structures built on the drainage right of way.

While speaking at that meeting, the Commissioner reiterated that in the absence of valid titles, all the structures on the System I Right of Way would have to go, adding that the State government also discovered that while contravention notices had been served, some of the property owners continued with the construction in an open display of impunity.


He stated that it is advisable for those who voluntarily remove the contravening structures and fences to do so before the state government officials move in with their equipment.

He explained that the enforcement exercise will address the issue of perennial flooding which has led to avoidable damage to properties and caused fatalities in some instances.
