The Lagos State Attroney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Moyosore Onigbanjo (SAN), has set a man accused of videoing a traffic warden free.
Israel Adejol was arrested by the police in January at Orile-Iganmu while videotaping a traffic warden on duty.
According to a statement on Friday by the Director of Public Affairs in the Lagos State Ministry of Justice, Mr Kayode Oyekami, the Attorney-General rubbished the charge, describing it as “an abuse of delegated power of prosecution.”

Onigbanjo added that his decision to exercise prosecutorial powers is discretional on matters considered to be in the interest of the public, saying the power to prosecute criminal offences should be exercised with utmost caution after due consideration of facts.
“The attorney general assured members of the public that the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu administration will ensure that justice is dispensed fairly to every resident of the state,” Oyekanmi said in the statement.
