The Lagos State Government has sealed a property at No. 5, Manuwa St., Ikoyi, for allegedly discharging untreated sewage into a canal through a non-functional sewage treatment plant.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the enforcement was carried out on Wednesday by the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office following complaints from residents and investigations that confirmed the environmental violation.
The Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed the development in a post on his official X handle.
According to Wahab, the property was sealed over the “deliberate and continuous discharge of untreated sewage into the canal via a non-functional and moribund sewage treatment plant.”
He added that the premises was also maintained in an unsanitary condition, resulting in foul odour, environmental nuisance and potential public health risks.
