MC Oluomo bans tax collection in some parts of Lagos following protest

Chairman of the Lagos State Parks and Garages Association, Mc Oluomo, has banned collections of illegal tax collection in some parts of Lagos.

These taxes are levied by agberos in some parts of the state following, which caused a protest by commercial bus drivers. FIJ reported that it was part of his intervention in the conflict involving commercial drivers and highway tax collectors who target transporters in the state.

A driver stated: “Mc Oluomo told us Thursday afternoon when we held a meeting with him at the state council that no driver from Oshodi to Tollgate must be compelled to pay illegal agbero taxes anymore. We are only to buy two tickets in a day, after which we will not pay anything aside from loading fees. The normal ticket sold and approved by the Lagos State Park Management is just N800. He said those extra taxes imposed at Iyana Ipaja and Agbado Ijaiye were no longer valid. We can either buy our daily tickets in Oshodi or Tollgate, and either will be recognised. Afterwards, we will buy the council ticket and booking for security, which is about N500.” The driver added that MC Oluomo has said he and his colleagues will no longer pay for tickets on Saturdays and Sundays. He said; “For weekend jobs, Mc Oluomo has mandated that no driver should be made to buy tickets on Saturdays and Sundays. The union should only compel us to buy tickets from Monday to Friday. We should be given the chance to take something home to our families.”

IPOB debunks sit-at-home order in Lagos, separates self from Simon Ekpa

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) dissociates itself from Simon Ekpa’s call for an Igbo sit-at-home in Lagos, stating that it is a ploy to demonize their leader, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu.

On Tuesday, Simon Ekpa announced that there would be a forthcoming sit-at-home for Igbo traders in Lagos after some shops at Balogun market were burned down. However, IPOB, via its media and publicity secretary, Emma Powerful, declared on Thursday that it had no association with the proposed sit-at-home. The statement also indicated that Ekpa is not a member of the group and warned that legal action would be taken against media organizations that link him to the self-determination movement. IPOB Statement on Lagos Sit-At-Home “The attention of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) under the leadership of Mazi Nnamdi Okwuchukwu Kanu has been drawn to the laughable and disgraceful statement making rounds that IPOB issued a sit-at-home order in Lagos State,” the statement said. “The statement is false, laughable, and coming from the quarters of blackmailers to disparage IPOB and Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. “IPOB has never issued any sit-at-home order outside Biafra Land. Anyone issuing any sit-at-home orders in Biafra or in Lagos is on his or her own and not doing so on behalf of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu or of IPOB. “Therefore, IPOB publicly disassociate ourselves from any purported sit-at-home call in Lagos or anywhere in Nigeria, including Biafra Land at this time.” It said further, “IPOB has no faction, let alone have a factional leader. The chief infiltrator in Finland has been ignored by Biafrans in his mindless sit at homes in the East; perhaps he thinks Ndigbo in Lagos will be so daft to obey his sit-at-home order in Lagos. We know our people are wise. “From today onwards any media outfit in Nigeria whether print media, online news, or others anywhere in the world, that makes the mistake of tagging Simon Ekpa and ‘autopilot’ as IPOB members or Mazi Nnamdi Kanu’s disciple again must be ready to meet us in the law courts; Enough is enough!” “Simon Ekpa or autopilot group are on their own. We are not the same people. We are a peaceful movement seeking the freedom of Biafra through an UN-supervised referendum,” IPOB added.

BRT driver faces 16-count charges over Lagos train accident

The Lagos State Ministry of Justice is set to press 16 charges of manslaughter and causing grievous bodily harm against Oluwaseun Osibanjo, the driver of the BRT bus that collided with a moving train in Lagos.

The tragic incident resulted in the deaths of six Lagos State Government staff and passengers of the train, while 96 others were injured to varying degrees. The collision occurred on March 9, when a staff bus collided with a train at the PWD railway crossing in Ikeja and the train dragged the bus and its passengers along the tracks until it came to a halt at Sogunle, a suburb of Ikeja. In a statement released on Friday by the Director of Public Affairs in the ministry, Grace Alo, the BRT driver is faced with 16-count charges. “Upon the receipt and review of the case file by the Department of Public Prosecution (DPP), a prima facie case of manslaughter and grievous bodily harm were disclosed against the driver of the Staff bus. “Accordingly, he is to be charged with 6 counts of manslaughter and 10 counts of grievous bodily harm. “Both offences are contrary to Sections 224 and 245 of the Criminal Law of Lagos State, 2015,” the statement read. According to the statement, charges will be promptly filed against the driver by the Office of the DPP. Nevertheless, his appearance before the Ikeja High Court for trial will be postponed until he has completely recovered from the severe injuries sustained during the accident.
