A man caught in a viral video dumping waste on the Alapere link bridge in Ketu has been arrested and remanded in prison, following swift action by Lagos State authorities
Mr. Ogunbadejo Olawale was apprehended by a joint enforcement team from the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) and the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC/KAI). The Environmental and Special Offences Court in Oshodi subsequently remanded him at Kirikiri Prison, with his case adjourned until June 26, 2025.
Speaking on the matter, the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, expressed deep concern over the continued disregard for environmental regulations by some residents, emphasising that the state government would not relent in its efforts to identify and prosecute individuals who violate sanitation laws.
Wahab stressed that environmental enforcement would be intensified across all local government areas, noting that surveillance activities were being upgraded and that defaulters would be prosecuted without hesitation, warning that the era of impunity was over, as no one is above the law.
