The governor of Lagos, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has called on some notable youths to attend a peace walk to herald the healing of the state following the Lekki tollgate shooting incident.

 

The government gave the invite during a press conference held at the state house, Alausa, Ikeja today November 30. The governor said it will signal a new beginning towards the rebuilding of the state.

Sanwo-Olu specifically invited Folarin Falana, the entertainer better known as Falz; Skit maker, Debo Adebayo, popularly known as Mr Marcaroni; Dele Farotimi, an activist and lawyer; Temitope Majekodunmi, Segun Awosanya, Singer, Seun Kuti, among others, to join him in the “historic march for our dear Lagos”.

 

“Nobody will build this city for us. Let us show the world who we are. We are Lagosians. A people of great renown, driven by the irrepressible spirit of Lagos,” he said. 

“It is a testimony to our strength and resilience as a people that, despite the huge losses incurred because of these terrible incidents, we have bounced back, with our economy as vibrant and virile as ever. I have no doubt whatsoever that our prospects are as bright as ever and the best lies ahead of Lagos State and Nigeria.” governor Sanwo-Olu said

 

The governor said his administration will ensure the provision of a safe platform, through the ministry of justice, where young people can register complaints that border on human rights violations.

 

Sanwo-Olu also said the government is seeking ways to improve security in the state, adding that his administration is focused on establishing measures that will guarantee the safety of lives and property.

 

“We will make it easier for our young people to initiate formal complaints on human rights violations through the Ministry of Justice,” he said.

We will also improve the coordination between the state government and the security agencies, including the police and the military. In this vein, we are studying how to improve security policy formulation, information sharing, and clarifying rules of engagement in times of social unrest.

Just as we have established a mechanism to compensate all those who lost homes, businesses, and livelihoods to the violent destruction of October 2020, we shall also establish a detailed procedure for the just compensation of citizens with verified claims of police brutality committed during the protests.''he said

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said.
