The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has noted with deep concern the protests in some parts of the state this morning.
The protesters are said to be angry over the Naira redesign and its consequent scarcity that has caused so much hardship and confusion among our people.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu believes there is no need for violence as the Supreme Court is looking into this controversial matter and will make its position known on February 22.
Lagos State has since joined the legal dispute- all in the interest of our people – in the belief that the highest court in the land has the capacity to adjudicate on the matter.
The fuel situation is easing following some steps taken by the government.
The government praises Lagosians for showing understanding, despite the pains that the Federal Government’s measures have brought. Residents should continue to be law-abiding by shunning any form of incitement by mischief makers.
Mr. Governor is working with his colleagues to ensure that this hardship does not go on.
The Nigerian Army and Nigeria police have called for calm over the crisis that erupted at the Ogijo area of Ogun State.
This was stressed when the two paid a condolence visit to the soldiers widow and also visited the scene Ogijo Police station in Ogun State.
Commander, 9 Brigade, the Commissioner of Police and the commander 174 Battalion Odogunyan in Ikorodu are here on the spot assessment of the aftermath of the crisis at the Ogijo Police Station in Ogun state.
Two police vans burnt
One car touched and an armoured personal carrier totally burnt
These are some of the collateral damages of the crisis
But most pathetic is the young widow left begin by the soldier who was said to have died after he was stabbed by a mobile policeman in the Wednesday attack.
So the convoy moved to the 174 Battalion Odogunyan.
At the commanders office he gave a brief on the report he got.
At the late soldier’s home his young widow was beside herself with grief.
Speaking after another closed door meeting, the security agencies described the crisis as avoidable.
The alterations between the police and the soldiers started in in Ikorodu area of Lagos and the reprisal was what was seen at Ogijo in ogun state.
Though the two security agencies have agreed to put their differences aside, events in the coming days would show if their subordinates agree with this position.

While Nigerians were celebrating valentines day, the Nigerian Army in collaboration with the national drug law enforcement agency had plans for the night
At about 9pm they set out for a raid targeting nooks and crannies of Onigbogbo and mushin. The outcome the Brigadier General says was impressive as over hundred suspects were arrested with various types of substances suspected to be illicit drugs.

Having touched some areas already in Lagos, the team says the state is large and the operations will continue.
