The
Lagos State government has reassured the general public that securing
the lives and property of well-meaning and peace-loving residents in the
state remain its priority.
In a statement released on Sunday by the State’s Commissioner for
Information and Strategy, Steve Ayorinde, the government advised
that the general public should be extra vigilant and report any
suspicious activity in their immediate environment to the Police or any
of the security services within the state.
The statement urges members of the public not to allow any building
to be used to harbor criminals or serve as a base for criminal
activities.
According to the statement, recent security investigations in the
Ikorodu area of the state have revealed that the Western Lodge Hotel,
located at 123, Isawo Road, Agric area of Ikorodu has been associated
with illegal and criminal activities and the Lagos State government has
accordingly decided to seal up the hotel until further notice.
The statement added that “government will immediately reinforce the
presence of security agents in and around Ikorodu axis” in order to
further reassure residents of the determination of the government to
safeguard lives and property in the area.
The press release added that the Lagos State government warns that it
will not hesitate to prosecute and confiscate any building found to
have been used or is being used to aid criminal activities.
