The Lagos State Government said it had served 132 operators with stop-work orders in a move against illegal land filling, unauthorised sand mining, and unregulated shoreline activities across the state.
The government also noted that several sites in Ikorodu, Ibeju-Lekki, and Badagry had already been sealed, adding that arrests and prosecutions would follow as enforcement intensified.
These were made known in a statement by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s Special Adviser on Mineral Resources, Abiola Olowu, who reaffirmed the state’s zero-tolerance for environmental violations that often lead to flooding, coastal erosion, and the rapid deterioration of public assets.
