The Governor of Lagos State , Mr Babajide Sanwo - Olu , has bemoaned the destruction that trailed a clash between the Yoruba and the Hausa in the Fagba , Ifako - Ijaiye area of the state .
Sanwo - Olu , during an assessment tour of the area on Tuesday , however , vowed to deal decisively with the those involved in inter- tribal clashes .
He assured residents who were affected by the mayhem that the state government would alleviate their pains .
The governor was accompanied on the tour by the Deputy Governor , Dr Obafemi Hamzat ; Secretary to the State Government, Mrs Folasade Jaji; Special Adviser to the Governor on Education , Mr Tokunbo Wahab ; and Head of Service , Mr Hakeem Muri - Okunola.
He said , “ The level of destruction that I have seen here is colossal; it is unfortunate . Enumeration will start immediately by the two local governments . The council chairmen and all the community leaders will come together and come up with a list of those whose properties have been destroyed .
“ We are using this opportunity to give notices to all the miscreants in the neighbourhood and that is why I am looking at you .
“ If you know that you are not doing any work and that you are one of the people that have caused this trouble , we are giving you the final notice because we are coming to clear this whole place .
He said the government would compensate victims after getting a breakdown of the enumeration , urging shop owners to be sincere while stating their losses .
