Lagos State Waste Management Authority enforcement operatives apprehended a male suspect last night, as he attempted to dump a wheelie bin filled with refuse at the Bhojson’s Way /Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue junction in Victoria Island.
This arrest took place after several days of covert surveillance by the operatives.
The offender is believed to have been using the location as a dumpsite for months. According to LAWMA, the suspect has been transferred to the Task Force mobile court at Bolade, Oshodi, for prosecution. Photographs and video evidence documenting the incident have been submitted to support the case.
Residents are reminded to refrain from dumping waste in public spaces and to partner with their assigned PSP operators for proper waste disposal.
