21-Year Jail Term Has Been Approved For Lagos Cultists – Sanwo-Olu

Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu has approved a 21-year jail term for convicted cultists in the state.

He also signed three other bills into law, which were the Lagos State Audit Service Commission (Amendment) Law of 2019, Lagos State Public Procurement Bill of 2021 and Coronavirus Pandemic Emergency Law of 2021.

According to him, Lagos State has battled the negative effects of unlawful societies and cultism for a long time, so the new law will definitely make parents more responsible.

He added that the new law would surely make parents show more interests in the upbringing of their children and wards to ensure they do not become a burden to society.
