During the visit, Adeniji held meetings with some of the magistrates handling special offences. He charged the magistrates not to relent in ensuring that maximum penalties are applied in deserving cases in order to serve as deterrence. He emphasised that this is the only way to entrench the rule of law and an orderly society. The justice commissioner, who also visited the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Enforcement Unit Office in Alausa, reiterated Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s zero tolerance for traffic, environmental and other related offences. At the Task Force headquarters, he was received by the Chairman Supol Olubukola Abe, who assured the A-G that he would not relent in his efforts to stamp out all traffic, environmental and other related offences. In his response, the A-G warned that the government’s emphasis on persuasive and civil enforcement should not be mistaken for weakness. He promised to bring the full weight of the law on offenders and to draft additional prosecutors to the Special Courts.]]>
