Lagos APC Women Leader Felicitates With Governor Sanwo-Olu On His Birthday






Women Leader of the Lagos State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Hon. Jumoke Okoya-Thomas has congratulated Governor Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu as he celebrated his 54th birthday on June 25, 2019.
In a statement signed by the media aide to Okoya-Thomas, Mr. Oladipupo Awojobi, Governor Sanwo-Olu was described as a blessing to his generation, Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole.
Okoya-Thomas said in the statement, which was released to journalists on Tuesday, that Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had reasons to celebrate, adding that his 54 years on earth have been full of activities and that better years were ahead for the Governor.
Okoya-Thomas recalled that just about a year ago, nobody knew that Sanwo-Olu would emerge the Governor of the state, saying that it was obvious that "the people's Governor" adequately prepared for the task of ruling the state regarded as the centre of excellence at this material time.
"I wish my action Governor a happy birthday. Governor Sanwo-Olu deserves all the accolades he could get on a day like this. 
"While I wish him many happy returns of the day, I want to emphasise that it is very clear that the APC and the people of Lagos State did not make a mistake by choosing Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to rule the state at this period.
"Just as Governor Sanwo-Olu promised during the campaign, he has hit the ground running and we have all seen that he has the capacity to move Lagos State forward and take it to the next level.
"I am so happy to rejoice with you on your special day and my prayers are that God will give you long life, wisdom and understanding to direct the affairs of a state as complex like Lagos, which everyone is looking up to as the number one in Nigeria," Okoya-Thomas was quoted to have said in the statement.
The Women Leader, who was a member of the Federal House of Representatives, urged the people of the state to continue to cooperate with the Governor in his plans to turn the fortune of the state around and further make it the envy of other states in the country.
She added that the Governor had all the qualities required to fix all the sectors of the state, and that the coming months would further reveal the capability of the Governor.
"Above all, I want to join millions of others to felicitate with our action Governor and pray that God will give him long life as well as the strength and wisdom needed for him to actualise all his laudable plans for the state," the statement read.

Court Sets Aside Arrest, Remand, Wanted Declaration Against Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Magistrate Court sitting in Ogba, Ikeja, Lagos, has set aside its earlier ex-parte order authorizing the arrest, remand, and “wanted” declaration of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran. The development follows the earlier declaration of Akanbi as wanted for alleged multiple murder by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Olorundare Jimoh, on February 19, 2026. However, in a ruling delivered today, Magistrate L.A. Owolabi of Magistrate Court 3 nullified the ex-parte order initially granted on February 16, 2026. In his decision, Magistrate Owolabi held that the order was obtained through the concealment of material facts. The court specifically noted that the counsel who filed and argued the application, Nosa Watson Uhumwangho, was under suspension by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee at the time and therefore lacked the right of audience before the court. The ruling sparked jubilation among members of the youth wing of the Ojomu royal family, who...

Court Cautions Police, Orders Proper Invitation of Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi

A Lagos State Magistrate Court has cautioned the Lagos State Police Command and directed that proper procedures be followed in the handling of the case involving Mr. Hammed Tajudeen Akanbi, also known as Hammed Ajiran, in what is seen as a setback for individuals including Bashir Fakorede, Jide Akinloye, and Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Jimoh Moshood. Presiding over proceedings in the Ogba Magisterial District, Magistrate A. J. Odueke, in Charge No: MISC/126/2026, held that the police must formally invite Akanbi rather than declare him wanted. The Court further stated that an order for arrest would only be considered if he fails to honour such an invitation. The Court noted that it was mindful of previous proceedings in Charge No: MCIK/60A/2026, where a similar application had earlier been set aside by another Magistrate on March 23, 2026, on the grounds of illegality. Consequently, the Court declined to entertain what it described as a repetition of a defective process. ...
