The Ogun State House of Assembly has passed a resolution, calling on the government and all security agencies to place a ban on street carnivals and usage of fireworks during the coming yuletide.

The passage of the resolution followed an extended debate of a motion moved by the Majority Leader, Yusuf Sheriff, seconded by a member representing Ijebu North 1 State Constituency, SYLVESTER ABIODUN and supported by all the lawmakers at a Plenary.

According to the lawmakers, it is vital for the State Government to consider suspending any forms of carnival or street procession which could further affect the security situation in the State.

They noted that such event organized in the past had resulted in clashes leading to breach of public peace.

The Speaker, OLAKUNLE OLUOMO noted that the lawmakers’ decision was in the best interest of the State.
