Read Time:57 Second
The Lagos State government continued its crackdown on illegal settlements on Monday by demolishing shanties built along a drainage channel in the Adeniji Adele area of Lagos Island.
The state commissioner for the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a video of the demolition shared on X.com on Monday.
His caption read, “Operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps commenced operations, removing shanties on the setback of the drainage at Adeniji Adele.”
In the film, LAGESC representatives were seen evicting squatters beneath the bridge and tearing down the shanties erected on the drainage setbacks. Adeniji Adele’s demolition comes after a slew of comparable operations throughout the state.
138 shanties around the canal bank in Ajao Estate Canal, whose illegal tenants paid between ₦60,000 and ₦100,000 in rent, were razed by the Lagos State Government last Friday.
The destruction of eight makeshift restrooms and 54 unlawful shanties that housed 84 illegal residents under the Eko Bridge in the Ebute-Ero area of the state last Monday was also revealed by Ajayi Lukman, the LAGESC Head of Public Affairs and Advocacy Unit.
