News Headline -The Lagos state governor, Babajide Olusola Sanwo-Olu, has reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to judicial independence and the protection of legal practitioners in Lagos. The event which was held at the Lagos Central Mosque, Lagos Island, brought together top judicial, police, and correctional service officers. Sanwo-Olu warned against what he called a “season of ignorance” where public discourse on judicial matters is increasingly shaped by social media commentary and uninformed opinions. He added that judicial officers should not be intimidated by baseless criticism, as judgments are based on “logical evidence” and careful deliberation, not public sentiment. The governor called on citizens to respect the processes of justice and avoid actions that erode public trust in institutions.
