A security man attached to a phones and accessories store has been arrested by men of the Lagos State Waste Management Authority for dumping refuse on the road median along Akowonjo Road.

The state Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a video posted on X.com on Sunday.

His caption read, “Recently, an individual identified as Andy, a security personnel employed by Slot Phones and Accessories at No.39 Sasha Road, Akowonjo, Egbeda, was observed illegally dumping refuse at the road median along Akowonjo Road.

“Investigations at the business premises confirmed the presence of a waste storage facility; however, no valid justification was provided for the improper disposal of waste at the road median.”

Wahab added that the facility manager claimed that the company is registered with a designated Private Sector Participant for waste collection.

However, they were reportedly unable to present evidence of payment to the PSP operator.

The commissioner noted that the suspect is being prosecuted by LAWMA
in accordance with relevant laws of the state government.

It was reported earlier this month that an individual identified as Mr Chuks was similarly arrested for dumping more than 10 bags of fully loaded refuse bags along Shasha Road in the Akowonjo area of the state.
