Man Seized For Attacking Lagos Officials With Charms

Security Operatives have arrested a man for attacking officials of the Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), with Charms and dangerous weapons while the said officials were carrying out their routine monitoring exercise along Musical Village, Awolowo Road, Ikorodu Area of Lagos.

This incident was disclosed in a statement released by the General Manager of  LASBCA, Arch. Gbolahan Owodunni Oki, Thursday on its Facebook page.

Arch Oki noted that no amount of intimidation or harassment will make the agency go back on its mandate to ensure safe and secure buildings across the State. “These assailants not only obstruct our staff but also hold them hostage for hours, these acts of hooliganism will not deter us from carrying out our duties.

“Thankfully, we managed to overcome these attacks without any casualties. Our staff’s resilience and quick responses have played a crucial role in overpowering the assailants and preventing more severe consequences. These are the kinds of challenges we face daily in our bid to ensure that buildings in the State are safe and fit for habilitation”.

He further called on the general public to cooperate and support LASBCA in its mission to curb the menace of building collapses across the state, noting that incidents of harassment and attacks tend to jeopardize the Agency monitoring activities and can potentially pose significant threats to the public.

Reiterating the dedication of the agency to maintaining and enforcing building standards in Lagos State even in the face of threats and attacks, Oki urged the citizens to cooperate in ensuring the safety and integrity of structures that will foster a secure environment for all.

He revealed that the assailant has since been handed security operatives for prosecution.

Reacting via his X handle, Obinna Nnaji commented, “Why didn’t he disappear with the Charms if truly it is as effective as they  claim?”

Unique Idam questioned, “Police is now handling charm cases? Hun!”
