 MAN IN CUSTODY FOR OPERATING ABATTOIR AT HOME

An unnamed man has been arrested in Lagos for operating a abattoir at his residence. This followed the action of the state government to seal the public abattoir in Agege.


“Following reports from a concerned citizen, our enforcement team has taken immediate action at No. 12, Alfred Williams Street in Iju Station," said the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, on Monday. "The property owner had illegally converted his residence into an abattoir following the closure of the Oko Oba Abattoir, endangering the entire neighbourhood through unhygienic practices and profiting from this reckless operation.


"The suspect is now in custody, and the premises have been sealed. This swift response demonstrates our zero-tolerance policy towards all forms of environmental violations, whether in designated facilities or residential areas.”
