The Lagos State Government has arraigned more than 100 suspects before the Lagos State Special Offences Mobile Court in Bolade, Oshodi, over alleged breaches of public peace and other offences across the Victoria Island, Lekki and Ajah axis.
The suspects were arrested between 2am and 4am on Friday, September 4, 2026, and faced charges including breach of peace, unlawful conversion of government property for personal use, and conduct likely to cause a breakdown of law and order.
During the proceedings, some of the defendants pleaded guilty, while others pleaded not guilty. The presiding Chief Magistrate, Hon. F.J. Adefioye, stressed the importance of deterrence while ensuring due process. Defendants who pleaded guilty to Counts I and II were sentenced to one and two months of community service or imprisonment respectively, with the sentences to run consecutively.
Those who pleaded not guilty were remanded and granted bail with two sureties each. The Coordinator of the Mobile Court, Olufemi Adekunle, reaffirmed the Lagos State Government’s commitment to maintaining law and order, protecting residents and legitimate businesses, and ensuring that offenders are prosecuted promptly.
