Man Imprisoned For Assaulting Lagos Official After Being Caught Defecating On Road—-In a shocking incident at Berger along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, an unidentified man has been remanded in prison for assaulting an employee of the Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources.

The man was caught by officials of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) while defecating on the road median.

The confrontation escalated when the suspect resisted arrest, attacking the LAGESC employee who apprehended him.

According to reports, the man struck one of the officials with an object, causing a head injury that led to significant bleeding. Despite his aggressive resistance, the suspect was eventually subdued and taken into custody.

This incident, which occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, has drawn attention to the ongoing efforts by Lagos State to curb public defecation and maintain environmental sanitation.

The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, confirmed the arrest and announced that the suspect will face further legal action, with a court appearance scheduled for October 29.

Wahab also highlighted the state’s commitment to enforcing public hygiene laws, especially in areas like Ojodu-Berger, where open defecation has been a persistent issue.

Recently, the Lagos State government set up a task force specifically targeting individuals who engage in this unsanitary practice. Since its establishment, the task force has made at least 50 arrests.

This crackdown is part of a broader initiative, jointly launched by the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) and the Ogun State Environmental Protection Agency (OGEPA), to eliminate open defecation along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The campaign, which focuses on the stretch from OPIC Plaza to Otedola Bridge, aims to enhance public health, prevent the spread of communicable diseases like cholera, and improve the aesthetic appeal of this critical gateway to Lagos.

As the state continues to tackle these challenges, the incident at Berger serves as a stark reminder of the importance of adhering to public sanitation laws and the consequences of defying them.

Bandits Storm Kogi ECWA Church

BREAKING: Bandits Storm Kogi ECWA Church, Kidnap Over 20 Worshippers—-No fewer than 20 worshippers were abducted on Sunday, December 14, 2025, after gunmen attacked the First ECWA Church in Ayetoro Kiri, Kabba/Bunu Local Government Area of Kogi State.

Local sources said the attackers stormed the church while a worship session was ongoing, firing sporadically to create panic among congregants.

Many worshippers reportedly fled the scene, while an undisclosed number were seized by the assailants, who later escaped through nearby bush paths.

The attack threw the otherwise quiet community into chaos, with residents describing widespread fear and confusion as the incident unfolded.

The abduction has heightened concerns over worsening insecurity in parts of Kogi State, where repeated attacks on rural communities and places of worship have left residents increasingly anxious and calling for stronger security measures.

SaharaReporters earlier on Sunday reported that one person, identified only as JayJay, was killed during the attack, while several worshippers were reportedly abducted.

This incident marked the second attack on a church in Okun land within weeks, heightening fears among residents and worshippers across the area.

A recent incident occurred on November 30, 2025, when armed men stormed a Cherubim and Seraphim Church in Ejiba, Yagba West Local Government Area, abducting the cleric identified Orlando and about 13 worshippers during a service.

The attackers initially demanded ₦500 million in ransom, later reducing it to ₦200 million, giving the victims’ families a two-day ultimatum and warning of unspecified “consequences” if the demand was not met.

Residents also recalled that the Ayetoro Kiri community came under attack about three weeks ago, when armed assailants targeted a local school.

On that occasion, the community vigilante group reportedly repelled the attackers, preventing casualties and abductions.
