Lagos Assembly Chapel Gives Out Awards To Deserving Outgone Members

The Lagos State House of Assembly Chapel on Thursday 6th June, 2019 gave awards to the outgoing Christian lawmakers of the State Assembly.

Members of the Chapel who went round the respective lawmakers' offices were full of appreciation to the members for giving support to the Chapel.

The beneficiaries were Hon. Omotayo Oduntan, Hon. Segun Olulade, Hon. Adefunmilayo Tejuoso, Hon. Lanre Ogunyemi, Hon. Oladele Adekanye and Hon. Dipo Olorunrinu.

In an interview, the Chapel's patron, Hon. Victor Akande, who is representing Ojo Constituency I, disclosed that the Chapel decided to honour the outgoing lawmakers because of their sacrifices and supports for the chapel.

According to him, "Some of them have contributed immensely to the Chapel especially to the House of God. He (Hon. Olulade) was one of those that gave sermons in the mornings.

"We are here to show appreciation, we just have to thank him for what he has done in the last eight years. And we pray God will guide him in his future endeavours," Akande said.

While giving advice to the incoming lawmakers, Akande said, "They should emulate those that are going now. They should even surpass what they have done in terms of taking care of God's shepherds."

In his comments, one of the beneficiaries, Hon Segun Olulade said he was delighted for the honour extended to him by members of the Chapel.

"What a better way to end a tenure! The best thing that would ever happen to a man is to know God. I want to thank you for not only giving me the spiritual food, but your support in the fellowship. Men shall not live by bread alone but from the word of God," he said.

Olulade recalled that as a member of the House who was also devoted to the Chapel's service, he had to come early in the morning to deliver sermons.

He added, "Don't think this will be the last day of our time. You can call on me anytime. For me, this is the best thing that will happen to me."

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...

Lagos Lawyer, Ajulo, Labels AIG Moshood Jimoh 'Incompetent,' Demands Independent Review of Ajiran Killings Probe

A Lagos-based lawyer, Adedotun Ajulo Esq, has described the Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG), Moshood Jimoh, as "incompetent and renewed his call for an independent review of the police investigation into the killings in Ajiran Community. Ajulo made the remarks in a statement issued in response to a publication titled "Ajiran killings: Groups, Stakeholders Exonerate AIG Jimoh Moshood from Corrupt Allegations, Refutes Defamatory Statement as Fallacy,"* in which several groups defended the senior police officer against allegations surrounding the handling of the murder investigation. According to the lawyer, public endorsements and declarations of support cannot replace transparency and accountability in restoring public confidence in the justice system. "Public confidence in the administration of justice cannot be restored through endorsements or public declarations. Confidence is earned through a process that is demonstrably impartial, transparent, and ca...

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. ...
