The Lagos State Government has announced the indefinite closure of the Oko Oba Abattoir in Agege due to a series of unsanitary practices and environmental violations, including the discovery of people sleeping in areas meant for livestock.
The disclosure was made via a tweet by the Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, on Thursday through his official X (formerly Twitter) account.
According to the commissioner, the decision followed an inspection of the facility that revealed multiple breaches of hygiene standards and environmental laws.
