Residents and business owners along the Idimu-Ejigbo Road in Lagos State have raised the alarm over a six-month-old refuse heap on the road median, saying the decomposing waste has subjected them to offensive odours and environmental hazards.
The refuse, located around the Dorcas and Silva Estate end of the road, has reportedly remained unattended despite the presence of waste management operators in the area and an earlier evacuation following a PUNCH Metro report.
Our correspondent observed on Monday that the waste occupied about 150 metres of the road median, with different types of refuse piled along the stretch.
Some of the waste had spilled onto portions of the road, while the prolonged accumulation had become a source of concern to residents, motorists, pedestrians and business owners.
