The Government of Lagos State on Monday said that it would not take kindly to any action that borders on lawlessness and savagery.
This was just as the government called for calm over alleged jungle justice given to some young persons at the Admiralty Way Lekki Lagos which led to the killing and burning of a sound engineer, Sunday David.
A statement by Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso which was made available to the NPO Reports said the Governor wants the citizens to allow the police carry out its investigation.
The Government reiterated its condemnation of the mob attack adding “The police are holding four suspects at the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID), Panti.”
It said Two survivors of the condemnable act are in hospital.
“The Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Gbenga Omotoso, has spoken with the family of the victim, Mr. David Sunday. He sends the condolences of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu and assures them that justice will be done in this matter. The government will address the root cause of this and similar incidents, which have caused public anxiety.
“The Government asks residents to remain calm as police continue to investigate the matter.
“Lagos has no room for savagery and anybody found to have been involved in this barbarism will surely face the law.
“We condemn and will not condone any kind of jungle justice, no matter who the perpetrators are.”
