In a bold step aimed towards decongesting Police cells, and a means of giving justice to various suspects who couldn’t get access to court due to the ongoing nationwide industrial action by judiciary staff under aegis of JUSUN, the Lagos State Government has ordered all State counsel in the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP), Lagos State Ministry of Justice, to mobilise and visit various Police Stations in the State.
The directive was initiated by the State’s Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Moyosore Onigbanjo, SAN, to cushion the effects of the protracted JUSUN strike.
A statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs, Kayode Oyekanmi, explained that all Counsel in the Directorate were mobilised and sent to Police Divisions in the State to carry out the work of District Prosecutors, by sifting through IPOs files for matters which fall within the purview of criminal trials.

The Lagos State Citizens’ Mediation Centre in the Ojokoro-Ijaiye area of the state has successfully interceded on behalf of a family locked out of their apartment for 18 days by an aggrieved landlord over non-payment of house rent.
The Director of CMC, Mrs Biola Oseni, said the family was rendered homeless after the landlord allegedly seized their belongings and sent them packing over their inability to meet up with the rent payment due to the economic hardship imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
