A Federal High Court in Ikoyi has refused requests to halt the election of Chairmen and Councillors into the 57 Local Government Councils and Local Council Development Areas in Lagos State.
As a result of the above decision, the elections into the 57 Local Government Councils and Local Council Development Areas in Lagos State still holds on Saturday, 24th July, 2021 as earlier scheduled.
The exercise, which would be conducted by the Lagos State Independent Electoral Commission to elect chairmen and councillors, is expected to be held across the 20 local government areas and 35 local council development areas of the state. The state Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, said the Command had put measures in place to enforce the restriction of movement across the state between 6am and 3pm, adding that only those on election duty and essential services on the election day would be exempted.
“We assure the good people of Lagos State, LASIEC officials, candidates, accredited election observers and other actors in the election of adequate security before, during and after the elections,” he was quoted as saying in a statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer in the State, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi.
