Governor Fashola of Lagos State last Thursday
November 29, 2012 ordered the arrest of a policeman riding a motorcycle on
Lagos/Abeokuta expressway.
The governor spotted the policeman when his convoy
was passing on the Ikeja section of the expressway. Policemen in the governor’s
convoy effected the arrest and immediately whisked him away in their van.
Fashola later told newsmen that the arrest was to
serve as a deterrent to those who felt that they were above the law and so
could break the state’s laws.
“There is no one above the law in the state. People
who are not prepared to obey our laws should leave the state.
“There is no society where laws are not broken, but
the state government would continue to increase its enforcement so that there
will be high level of compliance”, he said.
