 Flood: Lagos Miscreants Charge Passersby N100 To Use Makeshift Bridge


Some miscreants have been arrested by officials of the Lagos State Government for allegedly charging residents N100 to access a makeshift bridge along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.

It was gathered that the  incident occurred at the Tradefair under bridge following the flood which submerged a major part of Lagos.

A 54-second clip showed how some hoodlums were extorting residents before they could access an alternate route at the Tradefair under bridge.


Some residents also blamed the development on the ongoing construction company  along Lagos Badagry expressway.


“This is Tradefair underbridge, pay N100 before you can take the passage. And we have a President in this country. Look at their faces,” a woman’s voice in the clip said.

Meanwhile, the Commissioner for Environment, Tokunbo Wahab, said the miscreants had been arrested by the operatives of Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps.

Wahab on his X handle said the suspects would be duly prosecuted.

“Following a complaint made by @ARISE0214, miscreants charging people for using the makeshift crossover bridge at Tradefair this morning (Wednesday) have been arrested by the operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps @LAGESCOfficial.

“They will be prosecuted according to the law,” he posted.
