We Will Ensure Good Working Relationship Between Legislators And Executives In Ogun - Assembly Commission Chairman, Hon Waliu Taiwo

Chairman of the Ogun State House of Assembly Service Commission, Hon. Waliu Taiwo has promised to ensure a good working relationship between the legislature and the executive in the state.

Addressing newsmen shortly after the inauguration of the members of the newly constituted Ogun State House of Assembly Service Commission in Oke-Mosan, Abeokuta, Taiwo said that time had come for the two arms of government to work together.

The former two-term commissioner in the state added that time had come for the state to claim its rightful place among the comity of states in the country.

"My plan is to create a good working relationship between the executive and the legislature and ensure good welfare packages for all the members and staff of the state house of Assembly.

"As a former member of the state house of Assembly and a former commissioner in the state, I know what to do to ensure synergy between the two arms of government.

"What we need to do is to serve as a reliable intermediary between the two arms of government. Time has come for the legislature and the executive to work harmoniously for developmental purposes.

"Ogun State has paid her dues in the country and we cannot afford to joke with what we all built together over the years," he said.

Speaking further, Taiwo urged the people of the state to join hands with the state government to move the state forward, adding that "Governor Dapo Abiodun has proven to be a man of the people with his people-oriented projects."

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. ...
