 LAWMA SECURES SIX-WEEK JAIL TERMS FOR SEVEN ILLEGAL WASTE DUMPERS


The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has secured the conviction and sentencing of seven persons arrested for indiscriminate disposal of waste on road medians and other unauthorised locations in Mushin, Bariga and Ikorodu.


The Executive Director, Finance, LAWMA, Kunle Adebiyi, disclosed this at Ijora-olopa on Friday.


He said that the defendants were arraigned before a Magistrate Court sitting at Bolade, Oshodi, where they all pleaded guilty to the offences and were subsequently convicted and sentenced to six weeks' imprisonment each.


The convicts are Azeez Olawale, Ibrahim Alani, Ismail Lawal, Segun Sunday, Seun Olawale, Aliu Musa and Mustapha Muazu.


Adebiyi described the convictions as a strong warning to residents who violate environmental sanitation regulations, stressing that indiscriminate waste disposal posed serious risks to public health, environmental safety and the aesthetics of the city.


He urged residents to patronise registered Private Sector Participation (PSP) operators for proper waste collection and desist from dumping refuse on road medians, drainage channels and other unauthorised locations.


He emphasised that LAWMA would sustain its enforcement operations and ensure that environmental offenders were prosecuted in accordance with the law.


The Executive Director reiterated that maintaining a clean and healthy Lagos required collective responsibility, urging residents to comply with proper waste disposal practices and support the Authority's efforts to maintain environmental sanitation across the state.
