Lagos State Government has restated that it is an offence to use residential premises as morgues, embalmment centres or burial sites.
It said this was to prevent the transmission of communicable
diseases.
Executive Secretary of Lagos State Law Reform Commission,
Ade Adeyemo stated this on a LTV programme, Lagos Today.
The official said the commission is saddled with the
responsibility of reforming laws to effect necessary changes to make them more
modern, fair, efficient and accessible.
“In this regard, the Commission, after review, found it
expedient to ensure that the Lagos State Public Health Law was expanded to
include present-day disease outbreaks like the Ebola, Lassa fever and other
communicable diseases”, she noted.
Adeyemo reiterated that there are procedures to be taken in
order to eliminate all anomalies, repeal, review and reform obsolete laws.
The secretary noted that regardless of its autonomy having
been established by statute, the commission still defers to the
Attorney-General and Honourable Commissioner for Justice.
Adeyemo listed laws and bills that have been reviewed and
forwarded to the House of Assembly.
They include the Animals Bill, Electric Power Sector Reform
Law, Tenancy Bill, Real Estate Regulatory Bill, Lotteries and Gaming Authority
Law, and Law Enforcement Training Institute Bill.
