He issued the warning while responding to a matter of urgent public importance raised by the lawmaker representing Sagamu II State Constituency, Ademola Adeniran, during a plenary session. Adeniran had drawn attention to ongoing cases of residents dumping building materials along roadsides for extended periods, creating hazards and inconveniencing road users.

According to him, the practice has continued to degrade road infrastructure, complicate maintenance efforts, and disrupt traffic movement in affected communities.

In a related development, the House of Assembly also adopted a report from its Committee on Lands and Housing on the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development’s revised regulations aimed at strengthening planning and development control across the state.

The approved regulations include the Ogun State Building Production Management Regulation 2025, Planning and Development Permit Regulation 2025, Slum Regeneration Regulation 2025, Outdoor Physical Furniture Regulation 2025, and Layout and Land Subdivision Regulation 2025.

The resolution followed the presentation of the committee report by Chairman Damilola Soneye, seconded by Lukman Adeleye, and unanimously adopted by lawmakers through a voice vote after a motion moved by the House Leader, Yusuf Sheriff.

Following the adoption, the Speaker directed that the resolution be forwarded to all relevant authorities for implementation.

The assurance was given on Tuesday by the newly deployed Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Oluwatoyin Babalola, while addressing protesters at the commission’s office in Osogbo.

The protesters, made up of market women and civil society groups, had gathered to express concerns over the recent redeployment of the former REC, Mutiu Agboke, which they feared could affect the credibility of the upcoming election.

Speaking through the Head of Legal Department, Niyi Fayanju, and the Head of Voter Education and Publicity, Rufus Ariyo, Babalola assured them that adequate measures had been put in place to ensure a free, fair, and conclusive election.

She acknowledged the concerns of residents, describing them as valid, and promised that INEC would uphold electoral integrity while ensuring that every valid vote is properly counted.

Babalola also explained that staff redeployments are normal administrative procedures, adding that the transfer of the former REC was carried out in line with established civil service rules.

However, some protesters expressed suspicion that the transfer may have been politically motivated, urging the new REC to remain impartial in the discharge of her duties.

Speaking on behalf of the group, Mrs. Sadiat Amsat, Ms. Temitope Abass, and Mrs. Mary Adewale called on INEC to maintain neutrality and ensure full transparency in the electoral process.

The Osun State Chairman of the Coalition of Concerned Nigerian Citizens (CCNC), Mr. Musa Abdulsalam, also submitted a formal petition to INEC officials on behalf of the protesters.

According to a statement released by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), the case is before Justice James Omotosho, with Bello standing trial alongside Dauda Sulaiman over allegations of misappropriation and money laundering involving more than ₦10 billion.

The new defence counsel, Ahmed Raji (SAN), told the court that he had only just been briefed on the case and needed time to review the case file properly.

He explained that the prosecution had already been informed and requested an adjournment to allow adequate preparation for the defence.

However, prosecution counsel Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN) opposed the application, arguing that proper legal procedure was not followed in notifying the court of the change in counsel.

He urged the court not to grant the adjournment, describing the request as premature and not formally filed.

Despite the objection, Justice Omotosho granted the adjournment in the interest of fair hearing and rescheduled the matter for May 5 and 6, 2026.
