Lady Jailed For Assaulting Lagos Official, Ignoring Pedestrian Bridge by Morbeta11(m): 6:17am On Mar 15
A 22-year-old lady, Fasia Ajoke, was on Thursday sentenced to seven months and three weeks in prison by the Special Offences Court at Bolade-Oshodi for assaulting a Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps female officer while on duty.

The state Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a post on his X handle on Thursday.

Wahab said Ajoke was also guilty of resisting arrest and refusing to use the pedestrian bridge.

His post read, “The Special Offences Court at Bolade-Oshodi today convicted a lady, 22-year-old Fasia Ajoke to seven months and three weeks in jail for assaulting a female operative of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI) #LAGESCOfficial on lawful duty, resisting lawful arrest and refusing to make use of the Ile-Epo pedestrian bridge, thereby endangering her life in the process.

“She was arraigned before Chief Magistrate S.A Adefioye of the Lagos State Special Offences (Mobile Court), Bolade-Oshodi on offences bordering on conducting herself in a manner likely to breach peace, obstruction and breach of peace by crossing the highway.”

The commissioner urged residents to desist from assaulting environmental officers and to prioritise using pedestrian bridges.

He wrote, “We enjoin every well-meaning Lagosians to desist from assaulting our environmental officers and also make use of the pedestrian bridges as the state will not hesitate to prosecute anyone found breaking the law.”

The PUNCH reported on Tuesday that the Lagos State Government arrested seven miscreants for allegedly assaulting environmental officials during the removal of shanties and illegal structures along the Jakande Estate in the state.

It had also reported in February that the government described the crossing of major highways in the state by pedestrians as an offence adding that any defaulter caught will be prosecuted.

How I wish this could be replicated across board, that whosever break any part of the law would be sentence to jail, using Fasia jail term as a yardstick.

They should also put enough KIA people along that ojota, cause people are deliberately crossing the highway whilst ignoring the pedestrian bridge

I completely support this. We cannot want a UK-like Nigeria and not be ready to behave like the Britons.

Meanwhile, take a peek at my profile. It might interest you.

Seven months in Prison??! Haba!!!

That doesn't even begin to make sense... Why no option of fine?!!

Community service for 6 months even makes more sense.

Why is the Nigerian Judiciary unnecessarily harsh when doling out judgment to the members of the lower class, but shockingly lenient towards the higher class for the very same offenses?!!

Y'all sentence phone snatchers to death or life imprisonment, but give Politicians and elected officials guilty of siphoning billions wrist slaps.

These laws are very effective until it reaches the politicians and their cronies.
We saw how a civilian assaulted and threatened a custom officer here, what has happened?

Anyway let's be the reliable fumigation service provider you have been looking for

I don't know why people get mind, if motor kils person for your front before, nobody go tell you to cross while seeing bridge even far away.. .
1. Motor carry person for front, she landed at the back. She follow crowd cross then while she was the last, she didn't see the last vehicle, that one happen for mowe
2. Another, the man just dey waka jeje beside road, the motor wake jeje go meet him for road side kill him
3. I won't disclose the one at CMS and Maryland while I was still in Lagos then. Almost 6 experience,I won't there cross road even if the bridge is far
