Our government will not tolerate breakdown of law and order – Ambode

Disu was reportedly killed while resolving a land dispute between members of Okunraye Community and some private companies embarking on various massive projects within the Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ).

The Governor, while inaugurating the Tribunal, said as a responsive and responsible government, it had become necessary for his administration to set up a Tribunal to investigate the remote cause of the unrest with the view to forestalling future re-occurrence.

He said the unrest, if not properly managed and addressed, could lead to total breakdown of law and order, adding that the government was desirous of protecting the lives and property of the citizens.

The Governor added that as a responsible government determined to enforce the rule of law, it is his duty to take firm and purposeful steps to inquire into the origin, factors and circumstances leading to the disturbances at the LFTZ in order to forestall a re-occurrence.

According to him, “At a time when this government is attracting a lot of foreign direct investments and opening up the economy of our State, we cannot afford to have such disturbances. We will not tolerate any violent acts which disturb the security of lives and property in the State”.

“Having sought advice from the Attorney-General of the State, a Tribunal of Inquiry has been constituted to investigate the remote and immediate causes of this incident and other recommendations therein,” Governor Ambode stressed.

Some of the workers said the bulk payment was timely.

“The whole thing is like a dream come true. I commend the government for this and urge it to sustain the tempo through prompt payment of salaries and leave grants”, Bello Musa said.

Meanwhile, some creditors have started laying ambush in banks and offices to recover their debts.

“We don’t want to miss out from this opportunity and my appeal to workers that are indebted is that they should show gratitude to God by using this opportunity to settle their debts”, Fati, a creditor, said.

NAN reports that private school proprietors who also want to get their share of the windfall have started issuing letters to parents to pay fees for their children and wards.
