About 100 officials of the Kick Against In-discipline (KAI) have in the last one month been sacked by Lagos State government over acts of gross indiscipline.

Disclosing this in Lagos yesterday, the state Commissioner for Environment, Dr. Muiz Banire, said the operatives were dismissed in the last few weeks.

The Commissioner hinted that the state government also discovered that some dubious people had also been going around parading themselves as KAI officials whereas they were fake KAI officials who engaged in nefarious activities.

Banire stated that "we have a surveillance unit that goes around to differentiate between real and fake KAI operatives. There are fake KAI officials around. The public should report such officials to us."

On the issue of violence by KAI officials, the commissioner said there was no doubt that there may be such officials, but that KAI officials were trained not to retaliate when provoked.

The commissioner’s statement was contrary to that of the KAI Marshal General, retired Captain Danjuma Maigeri, who said recently that KAI officials were trained to defend themselves.

Banire also read the riot act to traders who had turned half of the Agege Motor Road into a market, leading to heavy traffic snarls in the area.
