Operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps have arrested over 15 suspected environmental offenders around the Jibowu railway corridor
in Lagos State.
The Commissioner for
Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a post shared
on his verified X handle.
The suspects were
apprehended for allegedly collecting used disposable plastics and plates from
refuse bins and reselling them to food vendors in the area.
The statement said,
“Earlier today, operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps
(KAI) apprehended over 15 suspected environmental offenders
around the Jibowu
railway corridor for allegedly collecting and reselling used disposable
plastics and plates recovered from refuse bins to food vendors.”
The enforcement
exercise was part of ongoing efforts by the state government to curb
environmental violations and ensure public health safety.
144 people were
arrested across Lagos State last week Wednesday for allegedly engaging in
street begging.
