The Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO), on Monday, sealed two houses for obstruction of duty by its officials and deliberate discharging of raw sewage and wastewater into the public drains.
The Commissioner For Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tokunbo Wahab, made this known in a statement on his X handle.
He said the deliberate discharge of the sewage was causing public nuisance while endangering human lives.
“In pursuant of safe and cleaner Lagos, LSWMO sealed-off a property on No. 2 Kebbi Str., Osborne Foreshore Estate, Ikoyi, Eti-Osa, for deliberate discharging of raw sewage and wastewater into the public drains.
“This act is thereby causing public nuisance, pollution and endangering human life.
“Also, Mambilla Estate Gate, Osborne Foreshore Estate, Ikoyi, Eti-Osa, was sealed for obstruction of duty for denying access to the agency officials from carrying out their lawful duties.
“This was after giving several inspection notices thus contravening provisions of the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law 2017,” he said.
He enjoined lagosians to embrace proper wastewater management and hygiene practices to enhance public health and environmental sustainability.
“The agency can be contacted on its official lines 08022022397, 07025332163 or through any of its social media handles, @lswmomedia
on Instagram and Twitter, and the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office on Facebook,” he said.
