Two men have been arrested in Oshodi, Lagos State, for allegedly dumping faecal waste on a road median.
The suspects were identified as 50-year-old Sabo Ali and 30-year-old Ahead Adamu. They were reportedly caught using a cart to unload the waste on the median.
The Managing Director of the Lagos Waste Management Authority, Muyiwa Gbadegesin, disclosed this in a post on his verified X account on Friday.
The post was titled “Two Arrested for Dumping Faecal Waste on Oshodi Median”.
Gbadegesin said operatives of the Kick Against Indiscipline team had also sealed the abandoned property allegedly used by the suspects for the illegal activity.
He said the enforcement action was part of efforts to tackle illegal waste disposal and protect public spaces across Lagos.
“We will continue to identify and disrupt illegal dumping activities, enforce environmental laws and protect public spaces,” he wrote.
The LAWMA boss urged residents to dispose of their waste responsibly and to use approved waste collection services.
“Dump responsibly. Use approved waste collection services. Help us achieve a cleaner Lagos,” he added.
