LAGOS OCTOBER 20TH (NEWSRANGERS)-Suspected armed thugs have set ablaze buildings inside Ajeromi Local Government in Lagos State.
The LG’s Chief Press Secretary, Sheriff Fakunle, confirmed the incident to our correspondent.
When contacted at 01.13pm, Fakunle said the attack was ongoing in the council.
According to him, “As I am talking to you, my local government is invaded by armed thugs. Properties worth millions of naira have been vandalised. Some of these hoodlums are entering into offices, carting away properties. Buildings are burnt, cars are burnt, these boys are looting everywhere in the secretariat.”
Earlier, Layeni Police Station at Ifelodun Local Council Development Area of Lagos State was set on fire by suspected hoodlums.
Suspected hoodlums also burnt down the Orile Iganmu Police Station in Lagos State.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Police Command has banned protests in the state.
This was contained in a press statement by the Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, on Tuesday.
The police ban is coming a few hours after the Lagos State Government imposed a 24-hour curfew on the state.
Before the declaration of curfew, at least two police stations were burnt in Lagos State by hoodlums.
