 Algeria arrests 61 Moroccans over alleged sabotage plot Algerian authorities announced they have arrested 61 Moroccan nationals earlier this month on suspicion of planning "acts of sabotage". In a statement carried by public media on Sunday, the General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) referred to "an international Moroccan criminal network" but did not provide details of the alleged plots. The 61 people, including a former soldier in the Moroccan army, "were preparing to commit acts of sabotage undermining security and public order", the DGSN said, AFP reported. It added that the suspects had entered Algeria via mountain trails from neighbouring Tunisia. Diplomatic strains Relations between Algeria and Morocco have been strained for years, and their shared land border has been closed since 1994. In 2021, Algiers decided to sever diplomatic relations.

 LAWMA WITHDRAWS LICENCES OF UNDERPERFORMING PSP OPERATORS, REALIGNS ROUTES

— Moves to strengthen service delivery and expand coverage across Lagos


The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has withdrawn the licences of some underperforming Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators and realigned waste collection routes in some parts of Lagos State, as part of measures to improve operational efficiency and ensure effective service delivery.


The Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin disclosed this at the weekend, noting that the action followed a comprehensive operational review aimed at aligning operator capacity with the growing waste management demands of the State.


He explained that the affected operators were unable to meet required service standards, necessitating the withdrawal of their licences in the interest of public health and environmental sustainability.


The affected operators include

KENNY JPS - Igando-Ikotun (Egan II), CLEAN CRAFT NIG LIMITED -Igando-Ikotun (Isheri-Oshun I), DOVEROOST LTD - Eti-Osa West,  DEWAYLS - Orade (Ijegun Emure) and PESJOY VENTURES - Ejigbo (Bucknor II).


Dr. Gbadegesin further stated that LAWMA had introduced a realignment of routes in areas experiencing rapid development and increased waste generation, where the operational capacity of a single operator had become insufficient.


He explained that under this arrangement, existing operators would retain part of their routes, while additional operators were introduced to complement their capacity for more efficient coverage.


Operators whose routes were realigned include

Shekaz Global Limited - Isolo (Ishaga/Ire Akari axis) and KRESTABOL WASTE MANAGEMENT - Ikorodu (Lowa).


“In locations where development has outpaced the capacity of a single operator, it becomes necessary to redistribute operational responsibilities to guarantee timely and effective service delivery,” he said.


He added that some operators voluntarily relinquished their routes, enabling the Authority to reassign those areas to operators with the capacity to deliver improved services.


Operators in this category are Ayolade Oluwabukola Enterprises - Lagos Island East (Ajele axis) and Imperium Waste Services - Ayoobo/Ipaja (Slot B)


The LAWMA boss emphasised that the restructuring exercise was a strategic intervention to strengthen the PSP framework, improve accountability, and ensure that waste management services keep pace with Lagos’ rapid urban growth.


He urged residents to cooperate with newly assigned operators and continue to patronise only LAWMA-accredited PSP operators.


Dr. Gbadegesin reaffirmed LAWMA’s commitment to continuous monitoring, enforcement, and stakeholder engagement to achieve a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable Lagos.
