LASG SERVES IGANMU UNDERBRIDGE SQUATTERS REMOVAL NOTICE

Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Unit (Taskforce) today served squatters at Iganmu Under Bridge (Whitesand) a 3 – day Removal Notice of all illegal structures, trucks and vehicles in the area.


The Chairman of the Agency, CSP Shola Jejeloye, advised the owners of the illegal structures, abandoned trucks and shanties to immediately remove them as well as vacate the area within the stipulated date given to them by the State Government.

CSP Jejeloye while appealing to traders, mechanics, and other squatters living under the bridge in clusters noted that Government would enforce the 3-day removal notice on Thursday, 13 May 2021.

He disclosed that the 'Removal Notice' became necessary in view of the rising incidences of traffic robberies around the area and environmental nuisance caused by the squatters in the area.

The Chairman noted that Government is worried by the squalid environment and that it is serving as hideouts for criminals, who daily dispossess road s of their valuables every now and then, adding that the present nature of the environment allow criminals to escape police arrest.

He added that the State Government is committed to reducing the traffic incidence around Ijora and Apapa and therefore becomes important to remove every bottlenecks to such policy. He stated that the indiscriminate parking and abandonment of trucks on the road is inimical to that policy.

He warned the owners of abandoned trucks and vehicles, shanties, containers, kiosks to remove them from the area before the expiration of the deadline, adding that this won’t be the first Notice of Removal being served on the occupiers.

"Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s newly signed 'Executive Order' on traffic and sanitation declared zero tolerance for environmental abuse, illegal and indiscriminate dumping of refuse and defacing the environment.

I can assure you that Government would enforce this notice come this Thursday”.

Good.

Nice one! Having chased the road robbers from Ijora , Apongbon Bridge and Adeniji Adiele area most of them relocated to that area.Miscreants lurking in dark places.

How can people feel comfortable living for this kin place

Ok

As I said before when the "uncompleted building law" was enacted (they would crowd the bridges and now even under bridge don collect their own), the poor are under attack.

Noted.

. giving them quit notice doesn't help

72 hours, that is fine

All of them there are there illegally.

When there is no even basic housing scheme for the low class what do u expect? Man must crash.

They will soon come back again..no be lagos lawless state

Soon someone will ask if they are provided alternative.

Why will government provide alternative for illegality. If you do not have somewhere legal to stay or do business, go back to your village.

One love for the homeless folks who lives in the street. One day e go better for the hood.

check siggy

How do people even live in that place, chase all of them out asap.

It's usually an eyesore.

Over 3 million international email list available for 20k only
