Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has ordered security agencies in the state to hunt down and prosecute criminals responsible for vandalising the Festac-Alakija Bridge.

Reacting to the incident in a statement posted on X by the Lagos State Government on Friday, Sanwo-Olu described the act as a direct assault on the state’s socio-economic assets, warning that his administration would enforce zero tolerance against destruction of public property.

“Lagos will not tolerate any act of vandalism because it is barbaric and criminal,” Sanwo-Olu was quoted as saying.

The statement noted that anyone who is found to be culpable in the “horrendous, shameful and condemnable incident” will face the law.
