Breaking: Lagos Signage Agency Exonerates Staff of Fraud, Faults Him For Policy Violation
The Lagos State Signage and Advertisement Agency, LASAA, has exonerated one of its staff members, Olukayode John Adetifa, of allegations of fraud that recently circulated on social media, but found him culpable of violating the agency’s “no cash” policy.
In a statement signed by Atinuke Dasilva, Head of Corporate Communications, LASAA stated that an internal investigation revealed that Adetifa, who serves in the agency’s Alimosho office, did not defraud the client, MJ Beauty Salon, as alleged, but mistakenly received payment into his personal account.
DAILY POST had reported that a viral social media post had accused Adetifa of collecting N45,000 via his personal Opay account while issuing a receipt of only N7,100.
However, LASAA clarified that a fact-finding panel discovered that the staff merely assisted the client, who was reportedly unwell, to complete an official online payment for signage registration amounting to N40,000.
According to the agency, the salon owner later corroborated this finding and tendered an apology for the misunderstanding, disowning the viral claim that sparked the controversy.
While noting that the investigation found no evidence of fraudulent intent, LASAA maintained that Adetifa’s conduct breached internal procedures and that he would be subjected to disciplinary action in line with Public Service Rules.
The agency reiterated its commitment to transparency and accountability in service delivery, urging the public to strictly adhere to its “no cash” payment policy and to report any complaints through official communication channels.
The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced Morocco as winners of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
The CAF Appeal Board ruled in favour of Morocco, declaring that Senegal forfeited the AFCON final by walking off the field during the game.
Morocco were awarded a 3–0 walkover victory.
This decision upholds Morocco’s appeal following the chaotic events in the match.
DAILY POST recalls that the Senegal team briefly walked off the pitch in protest after a controversial penalty was awarded to Morocco late in regulation time.
They were called back to the field by their captain, Sadio Mané, and later won the game 1–0.
CAF determined that this action constituted a violation of Article 84, or the equivalent regulations concerning refusal to play or abandoning the field.
Under AFCON rules, a team that refuses to continue playing or leaves the field without authorization faces elimination and forfeiture of the match.
A total of three operatives of different security agencies in Anambra State collapsed during the inauguration of Anambra State Governor, Prof Chukwuma Soludo, on Tuesday.
The incident happened during the parade at the Dr Alex Ekwueme Square in Awka.
The three operatives are one male police operative, another male operative of the Directorate of State Services (DSS) and a female operative of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps, NSCDC.
The police operative collapsed first, followed by the NSCDC operative, who slumped towards the end of the event and was later escorted to an ambulance, after she refused to be moved in a stretcher.
A source said the police operative was later resuscitated, but was still not stable, and was taken in an ambulance to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital, Amaku Awka.
The collapse of the service officers was attributed to fatigue and the long period of parade under harsh sunny weather.
