Fashola later told newsmen that the arrest was to serve as a deterrent to those who felt that 

they were above the law and so could break the state’s laws.

“There is no one above the law in the state. People who are not prepared to obey our laws 

 should leave the state.

“There is no society where laws are not broken, but the state government would continue

 to increase its enforcement so that there will be high level of compliance”, he said. (PM News)
