Ibrahim A. Jagaba The attention of the new commander of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Lagos, *CSP SAHEED OLAYINKA EGBEYEMI,* has been drawn to the falsehood been purportedly peddled around town by one primate Ojo Ajiboye, pastor of the disciples mission of christ church,  alleging the demolition of a house cum  church on 27, Abiodun Sadiku street, Dopemu, against the RRS Commander. For the purpose of clarification, the RRS Commander has not a single idea or knowledge nor does he has any interest or hand in the alleged demolision howsoever; suffice to say that, it is incontrovertible that matters of acquisition, demolition and or taken over of possession are all subject to interpretation and declarations of courts of competent jurisdiction, which further distances the commander or the RRS from the acclaimed action. It should interest keen followers and the general public that, while, CSP EGBEYEMI, Commander RRS, is been suspiciously mentioned, the  operatives and the vehicle used as s

The federal government, state governments, groups and individuals have all joined the fray either in condemning or backing the call from the clergy man in exercise of our rights to freedom of expression which is in tandem with the tenets of democracy and must be applauded. One has tried fruitlessly to refrain from joining the fray on this highly vexatious and contentious issue but because of its i
