No fewer than 14 persons arrested for allegedly attacking officials of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps, popularly known as KAI, have been sentenced to three months’ imprisonment each.
The convicts were sentenced on Wednesday after pleading guilty to assaulting the sanitation officials while they were carrying out lawful duties at the Oshodi Resettlement Market.
They were arrested following an attack on KAI personnel during an enforcement operation in the market.
According to the Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, the incident resulted in the assault of KAI officials and the vandalisation of an operational vehicle by suspected miscreants.
