Officials of the Lagos State Waste Management Agency (LAWMA) have apprehended an individual for illegally dumping refuse along the median of Egbeda–Iyana-Ipaja Road.

The Managing Director of LAWMA, Muyiwa Gbagedesin, identified the offender as Fashola.

While sharing the details on his verified X handle, Gbadegesin described Fashola as a known repeat offender in Lagos.

“Fashola, a known repeat offender, has been linked to multiple instances of unauthorized waste disposal,” Gbadegeshin noted.

“Investigations revealed that he had been hired by traders around Gowon Market to dispose of their market waste unlawfully, despite repeated warnings and enforcement campaigns in the area.”

The LAWMA Managing Director further noted that Fahola’s arrest reveals the agency’s commitment to holding refuse disposal violators and clamping down on environmental infractions.

The agency has secured security photographic and video evidence that will be used to support legal proceedings.

Gbadegesin also urged market stakeholders and residents to use only LAWMA-accredited PSP operators and to desist from patronising illegal waste collectors.

“A clean Lagos is everyone’s responsibility. Thanks!” he concluded.
