Residents and business owners in Maidan-Orile community and some parts of Mile 12 in the Kosofe Local Council Development Area of Lagos State have expressed concern over the pollution of the environment by operators of makeshift toilets in the area.
“The community stinks. It is like the Hausa are trying to take control of the area because the government has refused to do anything despite several appeals.
“The smoke and smell are becoming unbearable. We want the government to come to our aid. They should assist us with a motorable bridge and sanction these people,” Owolabi added. “I had on several occasions tried contacting the Ministry of Environment, but I believe some of their officials are getting something from the public toilet owners.
He said, “We are working on getting this waste channel to the right place. We had a meeting two weeks ago and we agreed to look for a solution.
