The Lagos State Government has sealed a residential property at No. 59, Ajoke Okusanya Street, off Ago Palace Way in Okota, for channeling raw sewage from a septic tank into the public drainage system.
The action was carried out by the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources through the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) on Saturday, as disclosed by the Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, via his official X account.
Wahab described the act as an environmental violation and a threat to public health, emphasizing that such practices will not be tolerated. He noted that discharging untreated sewage into public drains contaminates water sources and increases the risk of disease outbreaks in the community.
