A Special Offences Court at Bolade-Oshodi has sentenced a 22-ear-old lady, Fasia Ajoke, to seven months and three weeks in prison for assaulting a Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps female officer while on duty.
The Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a post on his X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday.
Wahab posted that “The Special Offences Court at Bolade-Oshodi today convicted a lady, 22 year old Fasia Ajoke to 7 months and 3 weeks in jail for assaulting a female operative of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI) on lawful duty, resisting lawful arrest and refusing to make use of the Ile-Epo pedestrian bridge, thereby endangering her life in the process.
“She was arraigned 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 breach of peace by crossing the highway.
“We enjoin every well-meaning Lagosians to desist from assaulting our environmental officers and also make use of the pedestrian bridges as the State will not hesitate to prosecute anyone found breaking the law.”
