Gov Sanwo-Olu speaks on suit against EFCC over alleged arrest, prosecution

Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has denied an alleged suit against the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission over planned arrest and prosecution after his tenure expires.

Lawal Pedro, the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Lagos State, disclosed this in a statement released by Sanwo-Olu’s spokesperson, Gboyega Akosile, on Tuesday.

His clarification comes amid a report that Sanwo-Olu’s lawyer filed the fundamental rights enforcement suit against EFCC before Justice Joyce Abdulmalik of a Federal High Court in Abuja.

However, the Attorney General of Lagos, Pedro, clarified that there was no time Gov. Sanwo-Olu asked any legal practitioner to file a suit on his behalf about the subject matter.

“We need to clarify that Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, at no time, sued or briefed any legal practitioner to file a suit on his behalf concerning the above subject matter.

“Also, it is disingenuous for the Governor, who enjoys immunity as conferred on him by the Constitution and has almost three years ahead of him, to brief any lawyer on this kind of matter.

“To the best of my knowledge, my inquiry confirmed that the EFCC is not investigating the governor and has never invited him or threatened arrest of any member of his staff, domestic or otherwise.

“We are currently investigating how the case came to be without our knowledge,” he stated.

Meanwhile, the EFCC has not issued any statement regarding the matter as of the time of filing this report.

The Osun State University Teaching Hospital, UNIOSUNTH, has addressed accusations of discharging patients from its facility on Monday night.

The hospital stated that the decision was necessitated by the ongoing strike by the Joint Health Sector Unions, JOHESU, and the Assembly of Health Care Professionals.

According to UNIOSUNTH’s Public Relations Officer, Wale Ajibolu, the hospital’s management had engaged in extensive discussions with union representatives on Monday, hoping to persuade them to pause the strike.

Ajibolu disclosed that these discussions lasted into the evening, with the management insisting on the unique role and obligations of the hospital.

However, despite their efforts, the union declined to halt the strike, forcing the hospital to take necessary action.

“The management met the union till late evening to suspend the ongoing JOHESU strike.

“We let them see reasons that we are a hospital and our own case is peculiar.

“But they refused and the management had to do the needful,” he said.

DAILY POST gathered that a relative of a patient admitted in the hospital had raised the alarm on Tuesday morning that the hospital management around 8:00 pm on Monday ordered their patients to leave the hospital immediately.

He wrote, “Gov ADELEKE must hear this. UNIOSUN TEACHING HOSPITAL workers embarked on strike since morning and they never informed the patients until 8 p.m tonight and ordered all patients to leave the hospital immediately, including pregnant women who were about to deliver.

“Relatives and their patients are left stranded, especially those from outside Osogbo. The government should come to people’s aid. You can fact check me. This action is not only barbaric but pure wickedness on the part of the striking workers.

“Why the midnight? It is unfair. A lot of patients don’t know where to go.”
