The Lagos State Physical Planning Permit Authority LASPPA has again warned developers, property owners, and residents across the state to desist from attacking, assaulting and harassing its officials.
The organization notes that its officials have been assaulted at various times while carrying out their legitimate duties of sealing structures without required permits or that did not comply with the planning permits granted them as stipulated by the Physical Planning Permit Laws.
According to a statement, the General Manager of LASPPPA, Kehinde Osinaike, said the recent attacks on some of its officials during an enforcement exercise were unwarranted, unlawful and constituted a setback for an orderly and safe environment that the state envisioned to realise through the implementation of planning permit laws.
Osinaike asserted that any future attack on the officials would henceforth be met with appropriate official response, including prosecution.
