LAGOS-Governor Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State has said plans were on to make any landlord whose tenant was found guilty of any criminal act in the state to forfeit his property to the state government.
Fashola made the remarks yesterday at the 5th Town Hall meeting on security, organised by Lagos State Security Trust Fund, LSSTF, on Victoria Island. He said: "The state can no longer condone any criminal act and that is why we decided to review our security strategy.
"One of the decisions that we have taken to further nip in the bud criminal cases is that we will fence the entire community more because criminals live among us.
"Every one of us must take the responsibility of exposing criminals living within our community; that is why we have resolved that in any home we find criminals or is used as hideout for criminals in the state, we will consider and justify revoking the title to that property and acquire it for public use.
