Armed Thugs Allegedly Attacked Lagos Govt Officials At Ajao Estate (Photos)

TRIXX NG reports the Officials of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA) and the Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority (LASPPPA) were allegedly attacked by thugs wielding dangerous weapons in Ajao Estate area of Lagos on Friday.

The officials had gone to remove the illegal construction at 1, Robinson Gbagi Street, Ajao Estate when suddenly some thugs armed with guns, cudgels, cutlasses and other dangerous weapons stormed the area and started shooting at officials and in the process causing mayhem in the area.

The General Manager of Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority, Tpl. Kehinde Osinaike said that one of LASBCA operatives who was macheted on his head and shoulder had been rushed to the hospital while others who sustained various forms of injuries are presently receiving first aid.

He noted that prior to the removal, a stop-work order had been served on the site but rather than comply with Government directives, the owner broke the seal and continued with his activities while planning a well-orchestrated attack on Government officials who were only carrying out their lawful duties.

He decried the incessant attacks on Government officials on lawful assignments, warning that Government would henceforth take decisive actions against perpetrators of such heinous acts.
