Mobile Court Convicts Lady For Assaulting LAGESC Operative
Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) has revealed that a Special Offences Court sitting at Bolade-Oshodi has convicted a 22 year old lady, Fasia Ajoke for assaulting a female operative of the Agency while on lawful duty.
Ajoke assaulted the operative who prevented her from crossing the highway, persuading her instead to make use of the Ile-Epo Pedestrian Bridge in order not to endanger her life.
Speaking on the incident, the Corps Marshal of the Agency, Major Olaniyi Olatunbosun Cole (Rtd) said: ‘‘It is rather unfortunate that despite the efforts of our operatives in making pedestrian bridges free of hindrances, some people are bent on breaking the law and assaulting officers on lawful duty which would not be tolerated in its entirety”.
Cole further revealed that the suspect, Fasia Ajoke, 22, was arraigned on Wednesday before Chief Magistrate S.A Adefioye of the Lagos State Special Offences (Mobile Court), Bolade-Oshodi on offences bordering on conducting herself in a manner likely to breach peace, obstruction and crossing the highway thereby contravening the Lagos Environmental Laws.
While informing that the Judge sentenced the accused to seven months and three weeks in jail with the option of #80,000, Cole reaffirmed the resolve of the State to prosecute any defaulter found breaking the Laws just as he vowed that the law will take its full course on anyone that assaults the Agency operatives’ on lawful duty.
Reading the riot act to street traders and hawkers, the Corps Marshal promised to consolidate enforcement on recalcitrant traders in the habit of returning to cleared spots.
The LAGESC Boss also advocated appropriate refuse disposal via the patronage of approved PSP operators by Lagos residents, especially in this holy month of Ramadan as cleanliness is next to Godliness.
