After the Lagos State Security Council, under the chairmanship of Governor Babatunde Fashola (SAN), met on Wednesday, it was agreed that owners of abandoned buildings or structures used as hide out by criminals would be prosecuted.
Lagos State Police Commissioner, Mr Umaru Manko said for any landlord who keeps a criminal in his house, he should also be regarded as a criminal.
According to him, the Council observed that despite repeated
warnings some owners of uncompleted buildings and plots of land have failed to take any action therefore turning the place into haven for criminals.
He said further, “We have deliberated on that and the story is just simple. You either take
responsibility for undeveloped plots or buildings so that criminals would not have a hiding place in those areas as the government directed before or forfeit them”.
