The Lagos State Government has sealed Myca 7 Court, Van Daniel Estate, off Orchid Road, Lekki, for allegedly discharging sewage into public drains.
The development was announced on Saturday by the state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, in a post on X.
Wahab stated that the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) carried out the enforcement action following public complaints about the alleged pollution.
“Following public outcry and in pursuit of a safe and cleaner Lagos, the LSWMO this morning sealed off Myca 7 Court… for deliberate discharge of sewage into public drains via a pumping machine, thereby causing public nuisance, environmental pollution and endangering human life,” the commissioner said.
He warned that environmental nuisance and pollution pose serious risks to public health and would attract appropriate sanctions or prosecution.
