Lagos State Government on Tuesday warned owners of uncompleted and abandoned buildings in the State to ensure that they expedite action towards the completion of such buildings or face sanctions in the eventuality that such buildings are occupied by miscreants or used for unlawful acts.
Briefing Government House Correspondents after the State Security Council meeting, Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni, said the meeting discussed various issues regarding security situation, crime management, law enforcement and traffic management within the State and some other issues, with a way of finding lasting solution.
He said the meeting examined the security implication of uncompleted and abandoned buildings and the increase in the number of people that are illegally residing in so many of the uncompleted properties around estates in Lagos. “We’ve looked at areas where we are winning, areas where we need to make more efforts and especially at the security implication of the influx of people into Lagos State; the security implication of so many houses, uncompleted and abandoned buildings and the increase in the number of people that are getting into so many estates in Lagos”, Owoseni said.
While warning owners of abandoned buildings, he said Government has resolved to enforce existing laws to the letter, and ensure that miscreants who utilise such uncompleted buildings to perpetrate unlawful activities are brought to book. He said some of such buildings which are usually residential are often converted into lounges and clubs across the State.
