Lagos State  Neighborhood Safety Agency (LNSA) has commenced beefing up security around religious centres during  worship hours in the state

The agency explained that the measure was necessary in order  to prevent any possible attacks on mosques, churches, and other religious centres in the state,according to the General Manager of LNSA, Ifalade Oyekan.

He spoke in his office while addressing divisional heads and corps officers on the need to be more security conscious.

Oyekan stressed that deployment of the agency’s personnel, to mosques and churches for strict monitoring of their services, was part of the strategy adopted to ensure everyone in the state gets adequate security.

He  said the agency was ready to partner with all other security outfits in Lagos to make the state safe  for investment.

Oyekan implored the officers to be more professional and ensure that security which was the sixth pillar of the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s agenda, THEMES agenda, could be achieved effectively.

He commended the efforts of officers of the agency for ensuring the safety of lives and properties of Lagosian, especially in communities across the state.

President Muhammadu Buhari,has justified the recent presidential bid of Godwin Emefiele,saying the development did not affect his role as the governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

Emefiele sought to be the presidential candidate of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) and drew widespread criticisms for being partisan while heading the CBN.

“The CBN governor is appointed by the President. But this appointment is subject to confirmation by the Nigerian Senate,” Buhari said on Tuesday.

Buhari explained that such decisions can only be determined by the board of directors of the CBN.

“Ultimately, it will be for the CBN’s board of directors to determine whether a CBN governor’s actions have fallen foul of the laws in place to ensure he can most effectively carry out his duties,” Buhari said.

He, however, noted that “there is a subtext to the accusations” of Emefiele being unfit to remain CBN governor.

He added:“Because the governor follows a model outside of the economic orthodoxy, he is labelled political. But the orthodoxy has proved wrong time and again.Instead, the governor is following an alternative economic model that puts people at the heart of policy. Nigeria should be free to choose its development model and how to construct our economy, so it functions for Nigerians.”

The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Muhammad has admitted there was a rift amongst Justices of the Supreme Court over the poor  financial state of affairs in the apex court.

He  confirmed receipt of a letter written and addressed to him by his brother Justices of the Supreme Court Bench.

The CJN said Judges in all climes are to be seen and not heard, and that informed why the he refrained from joining issues with the angry Justices “until a letter, said to be personal, is spreading across the length and breadth of the society”.

“This was akin to dancing naked at the market square by us with the ripple effect of the said letter” the CJN stated.

In a statement titled, “Re: State Of Affairs In The Supreme Court And Demand By Justices Of The Supreme Court” the CJN,explained  the state of affairs at the apex court.

“The Supreme Court definitely does not exist outside its environment, it is also affected by the economic and socio-political climate prevailing in the country. The accusation so far, in summary is that more or all ought to have been done and not that nothing has been done; which is utopian in the contemporary condition of our country” the CJN said.
