The Lagos State Government has once again said it will not
accept the use of fireworks popularly called banger in the State during this
festive period. The Government urged parents and guardians to warn their
children and wards to desist from using it, even as it warned sellers against
the sale of the items.
The General Manager LASEMA, Mr. Michael Akindele who gave
the warning yesterday, in his Alausa office, said that a special team
consisting of the agency, the police and other security operatives have been
mobilized to apprehend offenders within the ambit of the law for prosecution.
He recalled the ordeal of December 26, 2012 Jankara fire
outbreak caused by the storage of fireworks in some of the shops leading to
loss of lives and properties worth millions of naira.
