 SENATE ADJOURNS EMERGENCY PLENARY ON STATE POLICE OVER REP’S DEATH. The Senate today suspended consideration of the highly anticipated State Police Bill and all other legislative business at its emergency plenary session to honour the memory of Hon. Yaya Tongo, a member of the House of Representatives, whose death cast a sombre mood over the National Assembly. The upper chamber had reconvened from recess amid expectations that lawmakers would accelerate action on the proposed constitutional amendment seeking to establish state police across the federation, a measure widely seen as a major step in the ongoing effort to reform Nigeria’s security architecture. However, proceedings were cut short after Senate President Godswill Akpabio announced the death of Tongo, who represented the Kwami/Funakaye Federal Constituency of Gombe State in the House of Representatives.

 LASG SEALS TIMELESS, ICELAND BEACH FOR CONTRAVENTIONS 


… Serves Stop-Work Orders to 180 Other Buildings in Okun-Ajah. 


The Lagos State Government, through the Ministry of Waterfront Infrastructure Development, has sealed two major relaxation centres, Timeless Beach and Iceland Beach, as well as 180 other buildings in the Okun-Ajah, Eti-Osa axis of the State. The enforcement was carried out due to failure to comply with a summons over encroachment on State-owned land.


The exercise, which began in the early hours of today, was led by the Honourable Commissioner for the Ministry, Hon. Dayo Bush Alebiosu, who disclosed that several notices and summons had previously been issued to the defaulters, but were ignored, prompting the State Government to initiate strict enforcement measures.


He expressed his disappointment with the encroachers, stating that they had deliberately disregarded multiple warnings from the State Government over time. “This level of disregard for laid-down rules and property ownership cannot be tolerated. The State Government has made efforts to engage the affected parties, but their refusal to comply has left us with no choice,” the Commissioner stated.


Alebiosu said more than 40 offenders who had earlier been served contravention notices for encroachment had been accommodated by the State Government and issued their E-Survey documents after fulfilling all requirements stipulated by law, but some others have remained hell-bent on calling the bluff of the system while erecting their structures illegally. 


He reiterated the government’s commitment to protecting state-owned land and ensuring sustainable development along its waterfronts. “Over 20 suspected defaulters were arrested in the course of the enforcement, and they will be made to face the full wrath of the law”. Alebiosu concluded.
