A Lagos mobile court, Bolade, Oshodi, Lagos, has sentenced a woman, Rukayat Oderinde of number 17, Hassan Ogunmola Street, Ahamadiyya, Lagos, to 144 hours of community service, for violating waste management regulations.
The environmental offender is expected to commence her eight-hours per day community service from Ahmadiyya to Salolo route, for the next 18 days, cleaning the environment.
She was caught red-handed on camera while she was disposing her household waste directly into the drainage channel, an act strictly prohibited under existing waste management regulations in the state, as they posed serious threats to the overall cleanliness and functionality of the drainage system. According to him, the act causes flooding during heavy rains, adding that this not only disrupts daily life but also jeopardises the safety and health of the community.
“I commend the LAWMA enforcement team who wasted no time in apprehending the woman. This emphasises our commitment to maintaining a clean and healthy environment for all residents.
