Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Lagos State Wastewater Management Office, LSWMO, has sealed a three-storey residential building in Ilasan, Lekki Peninsula II, under Eti-Osa Local Government Area, for unlawfully discharging untreated wastewater and faecal matter into public drains through the use of a pumping machine.<\/p>\n

The enforcement action was made public via an official post on the Lagos State Government\u2019s Facebook page, following a credible tip-off from a whistleblower.<\/p>\n

The building\u2019s occupants were found to be discharging waste at night into surrounding roads, drains, and the nearby lagoon, posing serious public health risks and violating environmental regulations.<\/p>\n

Authorities described the incident as a deliberate act capable of spreading communicable diseases and endangering the local ecosystem.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Lagos State Wastewater Management Office, LSWMO, has continued to demonstrate its dedication to ensuring credible and sustainable wastewater management with the clampdown on a three-storey residential building at Ilasan Lekki peninsula II for a deliberate discharge of untreated wastewater and faecal matter into the public drains, through the use of a pumping machine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Environmental Nuisance was discovered through a complaint received from a whistleblower. The pumping machine, which is used at night is used to pollute the environment, exposing the citizens to communicable diseases, through the discharge of untreated wastewater unto the roads, drains and lagoons,\u201d the agency noted.<\/p>\n

The General Manager of LSWMO commended the whistleblower for taking action and encouraged other residents to remain vigilant and report similar violations.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that all reports would be handled with strict confidentiality and reaffirmed the agency\u2019s commitment to protecting public health and the environment.<\/p>\n
