The Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), also known as ‘KAI,’ has enforced the closure of the Agbado Oke-Odo market due to various environmental infractions, including street trading, hawking, indiscriminate dumping of refuse, and a lack of general hygiene.
This decision was made in response to numerous petitions and complaints from Lagos residents about the poor level of cleanliness and environmental degradation in the Agbado Oke-Odo market area.
CP Gbemisola Akinpelu (retd), the Corps Marshal of LAGESC, stated that their intelligence team had investigated these claims and found them to be true, leading to the closure of the market until further notice.
Additionally, three suspects were arrested for obstructing and attacking operatives on lawful duty with dangerous weapons and ammunition, resulting in a deep wound to one KAI operative.
These suspects will be charged in court for prosecution.
Akinpelu stressed the importance of maintaining hygiene in markets by disposing of refuse properly through approved PSP (Private Sector Participation) operators and ensuring that setbacks and lay-bys of external market premises do not accommodate street traders and hawkers.
