Lagos State governor, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Monday signed into law the bill for the Prohibition of Unlawful Societies and Cultism of 2021, approving 21-year jail term for convicted cultists in the state.
The State’s House of Assembly, in February, passed the bill, which also stipulates a 15-year jail term for anyone found guilty of abetting cultists and residents who willfully allow their properties to be used as meeting points by cultists.
Governor Sanwo-Olu assented to the bill and three others at the swearing-in event for newly appointed members of the State’s Public Procurement Agency Governing Board and two permanent secretaries, held at Banquet Hall in the State House, Alausa.
