Chairman of the Task Force, SP Olayinka Egbeyemi, disclosed this in a statement issued by the Agency’s spokesperson, Mr Taofiq Adebayo Taofiq, declaring that no responsible and responsive government would tolerate heavy environmental degradation being perpetuated by these illegal traders around that axis.
Egbeyemi said illegal shanties constructed by these illegal traders who specialise on new/fairly used furniture from Oshodi to Mile 2 particularly around ‘Itire’ and ‘Ijesha’ area had now become an abode for criminals.
“Residents around these areas could no longer sleep with their two eyes closed because of criminal activities being perpetrated by some miscreants and hoodlums who pretended to be new/fairly used furniture traders around Itire and Ijesha axis,” he said.

Egbeyemi enjoined members of the public to properly package and dump their refuse inside waste-bin provided by ‘Cleaner Lagos Initiative’ at different designations across the state.
