Peller Calls Jarvis For Backup After Getting Stuck in Livestream Argument

Lagos intensifies crackdown on illegal structures along Badagry Expressway




The Lagos State Government has intensified its enforcement campaign against illegal structures, shanties, and other environmental nuisances along the Lagos–Badagry Expressway as part of efforts to restore environmental order and keep public spaces free from encroachment.

According to the state's Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, the operation has been underway for about three weeks. Authorities say the cleared areas will be placed under continuous surveillance to prevent illegal occupants and traders from returning.

The government also warned residents and traders against:

  • Converting public spaces into illegal markets.

  • Erecting unauthorized structures along the expressway.

  • Using road setbacks and other public areas for private commercial activities.

Officials said anyone found violating these rules risks arrest and prosecution under Lagos State environmental laws.

The enforcement drive forms part of a broader environmental campaign by the state government, which argues that illegal structures, roadside trading, and blocked drainage channels contribute to flooding, traffic congestion, and public health concerns across Lagos.

Separately, the Lagos State Task Force reported impounding hundreds of commercial motorcycles during related enforcement operations along the Lagos–Badagry Highway, underscoring the state's wider effort to improve order and safety on the corridor.
