Residents of Alimosho have called on Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) Enforcement Team to arrest residents involved in indiscriminate refuse disposal in the area.
Their pleas came in reaction to a post on social media by Senior Special Assistant (SSA) to the Lagos State Governor on New Media, Mr. Jubril Gawat, on the recent arrest of some persons for illegal dumping of refuse.
According to Gawat, an enforcement team from the office of the Senior Special Assistant to Governor Sanwo-Olu on Environment, Bashorun Ayo Williams, stormed Olumo Street, Aboru area of Alimosho and apprehended some culprits for indiscriminate waste disposal.
Gawat tweeted:
