This incident is part of a broader crackdown by LAWMA to curb indiscriminate waste disposal in Lagos. The agency has intensified night surveillance operations, leading to the arrest of multiple offenders in recent days. For instance, on February 7, 2025, at approximately 9:20 p.m., LAWMA's enforcement team apprehended an individual named Engineer Akinsola for unlawfully dumping refuse at the road median along Egbeda-Akowonjo Road, near Micom Bus Stop. Investigations revealed that his residence lacked a designated waste storage facility, and there was no record of registration with an authorized PSP for waste disposal. Akinsola admitted that his landlord had instructed him to dispose of the waste at the road median and is being prosecuted accordingly.
