The Lagos State Government has revealed the reason for withdrawing the charges against Naira Marley and ex Lagos governorship aspirant, Babatunde Gbadamosi and his wife Folashade for breaking the coronavirus lockdown rules in the state.
After several speculations from members of the public, The AG & Comm for Justice, Moyo Onigbanjo, SAN eventually pardoned the offenders by considering their remorsefulness as long as they these fulfill 3 conditions, “(1) They have to write a formal apology to the Government of Lagos State which will solidify the remorsefulness shown by them.
“(2) They have to give an undertaking in writing that they will continue to comply with the directives of Mr President and Mr Governor which is the subject matter of the case before the court.
(3) In view of the danger which the state believes they’ve put themselves by attending a gathering exceeding 20 persons, they must agree to go on 14 days isolation to protect other members of the public from any likely danger.”
Moyo added, “In view of the fact that some individuals who travelled from endangered countries where present at the party. He stressed that the state is not a persecutor but it is always ready to enforce the laws that benefit the interest of the public.
“If they agree to these conditions, the 4 count charge will be withdrawn and that will be the end of the matter. We will keep it in abeyance.”
