The Lagos State Government has sealed Myca 7 Court, Van Daniel Estate, off Orchid Road, Lekki, over alleged discharge of sewage into public drains.
Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a post on X on Saturday, stating that the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) carried out the enforcement after receiving public complaints.
“Following public outcry and in pursuant of safe and cleaner Lagos, the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office this morning sealed-off Myca 7 Court… for deliberate discharge of sewage into the public drains via pumping machine, thereby causing public nuisance, environmental pollution and endangering human life,” Wahab said.
He warned that environmental nuisance and pollution pose “grave dangers to public health” and would attract sanctions or prosecution.
The sealing is part of ongoing efforts by the state to curb environmental violations and promote public health in line with its clean city initiative.
