 LSWMO SEALS RESIDENTIAL ESTATE IN LEKKI PHASE I FOR ENVIRONMENTAL NUISANCE, OBSTRUCTION OF DUTY


The Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) on Wednesday, 7th January 2026, sealed off a residential estate located at No. 96B, Ladipo Omotesho Street, Lekki Phase I, over persistent environmental nuisance and obstruction of statutory duties by residents and facility managers.


Speaking on the exercise, the General Manager, Engr. Adefemi Afolabi, explained that the enforcement action followed repeated complaints and several notices served on the estate over indiscriminate discharge of untreated wastewater, poor sewage management practices and deliberate attempts to prevent LSWMO officers from carrying out routine inspection and compliance monitoring.


He noted that despite earlier engagements and warnings, the estate failed to remedy the infractions, thereby posing health and environmental risks to the surrounding community.


According to him, the sealing-off was carried out in strict compliance with Lagos State environmental laws and the mandate of LSWMO to protect public health and the environment, stressing that the estate will remain sealed until all observed violations are fully corrected and verified by the Office.


While condemning the act of obstruction of enforcement officers on duty, the General Manager warned individuals or groups to desist from hindering, harassing, or interfering with duly authorised officers in the discharge of their statutory responsibilities.


Reaffirming the State’s commitment to safeguarding public health and promoting sustainable wastewater management practices across the State, Engr. Adefemi urged residents to adopt proper wastewater management and hygiene practices to support public health, warning that any act of environmental nuisance will attract appropriate sanctions and possible prosecution.


He also implored residents to report any environmental infractions, assuring them that the agency can be reached via its official lines: 08022022397, 07025332163, or through its social media platforms: @lswmomedia on Instagram and Twitter, and The Lagos Wastewater Management Office on Facebook.
