By Felix Kuyinu
Two men, Aminu Amusa and Sabiu Samili, have been convicted for assaulting on a Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Officer, LSNC, official.
Amusa, 28, and Samili, 25, were arraigned at the Magistrates’ Court in Ejigbo where they were found culpable of the offence and also damaging a patrol vehicle at Baruwa, Ipaja area of the state.
While arraigning the duo at the court on Wednesday on conspiracy , unlawful assault and wilful damage, the LSNC, stated that the assault occurred when the officer from the Ayobo-Ipaja LCDA command was attacked by a mob while carrying out his lawful duties.
Reacting to the judgment, the General Manager of the Lagos State Neighbourhood Safety Agency, Ifalade Oyekan, warned members of the public against assaulting law enforcement officers while they are performing their official duties.
“The Lagos State Governor, Mr. Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, frowns at unruly behaviour toward law enforcement agents in the state and will not spare anybody found wanting—no matter how highly placed,” he said.
