In an effort to restore sanity and cleanliness to Lagos’ streets, operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps detained 12 miscreants following surveillance operations in numerous locations of the state.
The decision comes after concerned people noted the threat and disturbance posed by miscreants and the homeless.
Tokunbo Wahab, the state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, confirmed this on Friday via X.com.
Wahab wrote, “Acting on reports received from concerned citizens on the menace and nuisance caused by miscreants and destitute, the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps #LAGESCOfficial (KAI) yesterday, deployed surveillance teams in some of the areas reported.
“Falomo in Ikoyi, Adeola Odeku and Sanusi Fafunwa in Victoria Island, Chisco, Ikate and Marwa, along Lekki-Ajah expressway, were monitored, leading to the arrest of 12 suspects; 10 adults and 2 minors.
“The suspects will be arraigned in a court of competent jurisdiction.”
