Chairman of the Lagos Task Force, CSP Adetayo Akerele
The Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Unit (Task Force) has issued a 72-hour ultimatum to street traders and illegal occupants operating along the Alaba Rago axis of the Mile 2–Badagry Expressway.
The affected persons have been directed to vacate the area ahead of a planned enforcement exercise.
The Chairman of the Task Force, CSP Adetayo Akerele, announced this in a statement signed by the agency’s spokesperson, Mr Abdulraheem Gbadeyan, on Wednesday in Lagos.
Akerele said the move was part of efforts by the state government to enforce environmental laws and the ban on street trading as stipulated in the state’s Environmental Management and Protection Law of 2017.
