“They are legally empowered agents of the State”, assault on VIO Officials at Mile 2 will not go unpunished – LASG.
LASG notes that VIO officials are entrusted with the critical responsibility of safeguarding lives through road safety enforcement.
Adds that the perpetrators of this attack will be relentlessly pursued, apprehended, and subjected to the full sanctions of the law.
The Lagos State Ministry of Transportation has declared that the recent assault of its Vehicle Inspection Officers (VIO) while executing their lawful duties at the Mile 2 area of the State would not go unpunished.
The Commissioner for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, who made the declaration in a statement on Thursday August 28th, said :
“This appalling and utterly reprehensible act is a direct affront not only to the officers involved but also to the authority and dignity of the Lagos State Government. It will never go unpunished.”
“VIO officials are legally empowered agents of the State, entrusted with the critical responsibility of safeguarding lives through road safety enforcement. To raise a hand against them is to undermine the rule of law, subvert public order, and desecrate the very institutions established to protect society.”
“The Ministry declares in the strongest possible terms that this descent into lawlessness will not be tolerated. The perpetrators of this disgraceful attack will be relentlessly pursued, apprehended, and subjected to the full sanctions of the law.”
“Thankfully, the injured officers are responding to treatment. However, this does not in any way diminish the gravity of the assault or the firm resolve of the government to bring the culprits to justice.”
“We stand in unwavering solidarity with the injured officers and reassure all personnel of our absolute commitment to their safety and dignity. The Ministry will not relent in its duty to protect those who serve. Nor will it allow criminal elements to intimidate or obstruct the lawful work of the government.”
