Court convicts nine for illegal waste disposal

For dumping refuse indiscriminately, nine persons arrested by the Lagos State Environment Sanitation Corps have been sentenced to a week in prison or N5,000 each.

It was gathered that they were arrested during a joint exercise with officials of Lagos State Waste Management Authority and later charged to court. “The Magistrate ruled that the offenders be imprisoned for one week or pay a fine of ₦5,000. Seven out of the offenders fulfilled their conditions while the other defaulting two were taken to prison,” said LAGESC spokesman Kehinde Adebayo.

He said the agency arrested a 40-year-old man Hakeem Oyediji, a resident of No 4, Iretioluwa Street, Bolade-Oshodi for allegedly extorting illegal traders while posing as a LAGESC official.“He was arrested after a tip-off while trying to extort money from illegal street traders at Bendel Close, off Bishop Aboyade Cole Street, Victoria Island. He has since been handed over to the police for further investigation.
