The Lagos State Government has issued a 24-hour eviction notice to individuals illegally occupying the Oja Oba Underbridge at Adeniji Adele, following the discovery of a section being used for livestock rearing.
The Commissioner for the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a post accompanied by a video on X.com on Wednesday.
He wrote,
“During our clearance operation at Oja Oba Underbridge, Adeniji Adele, we discovered a section being used for livestock rearing. This misuse of public infrastructure poses environmental and safety risks.
“The occupants have been given 24 hours to vacate before we proceed with the removal of all illegal shanties.”
Wahab noted that the move is part of the government’s ongoing efforts to reclaim public spaces and maintain order in the state.
