In a statement on Sunday by the State’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, the government advised that the general public should be extra vigilant and report any suspicious activity in their immediate environment to the Police or any of the security services within the state.
The statement urged “members of the public not to allow any building to be used to harbor criminals or serve as a base for criminal activities.”
According to the statement, recent security investigations in the Ikorodu area of the state have revealed that the Western Lodge Hotel, located at 123, Isawo Road, Agric area of Ikorodu has been associated with illegal and criminal activities “and the Lagos State government has accordingly decided to seal up the hotel until further notice.”
