In a decisive move to protect public health and uphold environmental safety, the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) has sealed off Myca 7 Court, located in Van Daniel Estate, Off Orchid Road, Lekki, following reports of deliberate sewage discharge into public drains.
The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab in a post shared on X stated, “Following public outcry and in pursuant of safe and cleaner Lagos, the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) this morning sealed-off Myca 7 Court… for deliberate discharge of sewage into the public drains via pumping machine, thereby causing public nuisance, environmental pollution and endangering human life.”
The Commissioner further emphasised the seriousness of such violations by declaring, “Every act of environmental nuisance and pollution portends grave dangers to public health and will be met with appropriate sanctions and or prosecution.”
This action reflects Lagos State’s commitment to enforcing environmental laws under the #ZeroToleranceLagos campaign, aimed at ensuring a cleaner, safer urban environment for all residents.
