BURIAL PROHIBITED ON RESIDENTIAL PREMISES - LASG

The Executive Secretary of Lagos State Law Reform Commission, Mrs. Ade Adeyemo has restated that it is an offense to use residential premises as morgues, embalmment centres or burial sites in order to prevent the transmission of communicable diseases in the State.

Speaking on the activities, achievements and impact of the Lagos State Law Reform Commission since its establishments on a Lagos Television interview programme "Lagos Today", Adeyemo stressed that the Commission is tasked with the onerous responsibility of updating and reviewing laws that address immediate and peculiar needs of Lagosians at every point in time.

According to her, “The Law Reform Commission is saddled with the responsibility of reviewing and reforming laws with a view to effecting necessary changes to make them more modern, fair, just, efficient, accessible and bring them in consonance with the prevailing social and moral values of society”.

“In this regard, the Commission, after review, found it expedient to ensure that the Lagos State Public Health Law was expanded to include present-day disease outbreaks like the Ebola, Lassa fever and other communicable diseases”, she added.

The Executive Secretary reiterated that there are procedures to be taken in order to eliminate all anomalies and repeal, review and reform obsolete, spent and unnecessary laws which at a time were necessary but as the State evolves, they become inapplicable because they do not fit the prevailing situations and circumstances.

She revealed that the very first compendium of laws in the State was the 1973 laws of Lagos State which was a merger of the laws that existed in the former Federal Territory of Lagos and those of the Former Western Nigeria, adding that the present Law Reform Commission evolved out of the short term State Law Review Committees/Commissions saddled with the responsibilities of previous law reforms.

Adeyemo, however, noted that regardless of its autonomy having been established by statute, the Commission still defers to the Attorney-General and Honourable Commissioner for Justice, who is the Commission's voice at the State Executive Council.

The Executive Secretary revealed that some of the Laws and Bills that have been reviewed and forwarded to the House of Assembly for the benefit of the general public include the Animals Bill, Electric Power Sector Reform Law, Tenancy Bill, Real Estate Regulatory Bill, Lotteries and Gaming Authority Law and Law Enforcement Training Institute Bill, among others.

Hmm

lol....story

No be for Kogi state O.

Ok o.

when cemeteries don turn to skull mining sites

It is good, I don't like houses where a dead person is buried.

In a country where public cemetery is for ritualist to harvest parts.

This is long overdue. I hope they enforce it to the latter

Damnnn niggarrrr
Isoright.....
Edo state own go hard

U don't mean it

What do I know¿..

He heei.

So everybody go dey bury for cemetery now.

Story

When it's a normal thing in yoruba land, Absolutely no compound without grave

It's a good idea.

This law should be replicated all over Nigeria.. if people only knew the sahara desert was once an ocean, we would know a lot of things dont matter.

So if Tinubu wants to be buried or have his spouse or kids buried in his house, you will tell him no?

Or if Oba of Lagos is to be buried in his home, you will tell him no?

Una know who una dey talk to

LASG, na ur house? is it your land?

It is good idea. Stories of ghosts will reduce

Dishing out of law when there's no proper/secured site to bury the dead ones.
How that topic take add up for God sake?

Do they not have better problems in that state to try and tackle? Does it 'really' matter where people are burried? With our incompetent leaders, Nigeria will always have problems with setting their priorities straight.

LMFAO

Until there is adequate security measures and apparatus are put in place at public cemeteries, The practice of burying people in houses won't stop. It is an age long tradition.

Nigerian public cemeteries still remain a hotbed for organ harvesters and skull mining technicians.

Good development.

Na wa o

Many children will now be selling their fathers'/family house....chaiii
