A shocking incident unfolded on Wednesday at the Volks bus stop on the Ojo/Iyana-Iba road in Lagos, where a heated argument between a soldier and a team of policemen escalated into tragedy, resulting in the death of Inspector Saka Ganiyu, a dedicated officer from the Task Force Unit, Oshodi Base.

The chaos began when the police team stopped an unregistered T4 Volkswagen commercial bus, driven by a soldier in civilian clothing, for driving against traffic. What started as a routine enforcement quickly spiraled out of control. The soldier, upon identifying himself, called for reinforcements from his colleagues at Ojo Cantonment Barracks.

The soldiers arrived equipped with dangerous weapons, launching an attack on the police team. A swift response from a reinforcement team of policemen helped repel the soldiers, but it was too late—Inspector Ganiyu had already suffered a fatal stab wound. Despite being rushed to the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) for emergency treatment, he sadly succumbed to his injuries.

As of now, the policeman’s body has been transferred to the LASUTH morgue, while the soldier alleged to be responsible for the stabbing is in custody at the 9 Brigade in Ikeja Cantonment.

🔍 **Ongoing Investigation:** The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hudenyin, confirmed that an investigation is underway. The Army authorities expressed their deep regret over the incident, promising a thorough investigation and appropriate disciplinary measures to ensure justice is served.

A statement from Lt. Col. Olabisi Ayeni, Deputy Director of Public Relations for the 81 Division of the Nigerian Army, highlighted the unfortunate nature of the incident, which stemmed from a traffic violation altercation.

Let’s hope for justice and peace in our communities.

Court dismisses Abuja s3x workers’ suit against Wike, says pr0stitution illegal

Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court Abuja has dismissed a suit seeking fundamental rights for commercial s3x workers in the Federal Capital Territory FCT to operate without intimidation or arrest by security agencies of the federal government.

 

The Judge held that the pr0stitutes have no legal rights under any known law or the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

 

In a judgment delivered on Wednesday, Justice Omotosho said that the commercial sex workers were even liable to be arrested and prosecuted for a jail term of two years under the criminal law known as Penal Code.

 

The s3x workers had sought to stop the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike and the Abuja Environmental Protection Board from ‘’harassing, intimidating, arresting and prosecuting them in Abuja.’’

 

They asked the Judge to enforce their fundamental human rights to prostitution as enshrined in the Nigerian law.

 

The suit filed on May 14, 2024, asked the court to determine whether the duties of the AEPB include harassment, arrest, detention and prosecution of women suspected of engaging in sex work on the streets of Abuja.

 

However, Justice Omotosho, in his judgement, held that the application of the plaintiff was incompetent under the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules, 2009.

 

The judge held that even if it was competent, the reliefs sought are not grantable and thus, dismissed for lack of merit.

“This court wonders what kind of message the Applicant was sending when it decided to bring an action to protect prostitutes.

A reasonable person would have expected that the Applicant would instead occupy itself with developing the girl child and protecting the sanctity of womanhood instead of promoting immorality and the spread of sexual diseases. It is indeed shameful that the applicant should file an action like this.

The women suspected of engaging in sex work on the streets of Abuja or prostitutes or vagabonds are by their actions committing an offence, and thus their fundamental rights can be legally breached by the respondent.”
