The Lagos State Government says it has sealed off Domino’s Pizza, located at No. 38B, Freedom Way, Lekki, Eti-Osa, over the indiscriminate discharge of untreated sewage into the environment.
The state Commissioner for Environment
and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a statement posted on his
X handle on Tuesday.
According to him, the action followed a
complaint from a resident and a subsequent investigation carried out by the
Lagos State Wastewater Management Office.
“Following a complaint received from a
concerned resident and a thorough investigation, the Lagos State Wastewater
Management Office (LSWMO), on Wednesday 12th May, 2026, sealed-off Dominion
Pizza at No. 38B, Freedom Way, Lekki, Eti-Osa, Lagos, over indiscriminate
discharge of untreated sewage from its chamber due to an overfilled septic tank
into the environment and public drains, causing environmental nuisance,
offensive odour, as well as endangering human health,” the statement read.
Wahab said the discharge created
environmental nuisance, emitted offensive odour, and posed health risks to
residents in the area.
The commissioner warned that residents
and property managers must adhere strictly to proper wastewater management
practices, adding that violators would face sanctions and possible prosecution
under existing environmental laws.
“@followlasg reiterates the need for
residents and property managers to adhere strictly to proper wastewater
management practices, noting that any individual or organisation found
contravening environmental regulations will be meted with appropriate sanctions
and possible prosecution in accordance with the enabling laws,” he stated.
He also provided contact numbers for
reporting environmental violations in the state as 08022022397 and
07025332163.
The action aligns with ongoing
enforcement drives by the Lagos State Government against illegal sewage
discharge, particularly in high-density residential and commercial areas like
Lekki.
Similar operations have recently
targeted estates, event centres, and other restaurants in the area.
