Lagos Declares War On Illegal Structures, Squatters

In order to sustain the dislodgement of squatters and illegal structures, the State Government has deployed not less than 60 operatives of the three enforcement agencies of the State to various points along Onikan and Outer Marina.

The latest move was possible through the synergy between the operatives of Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI), Lagos Neighbourhood Watch as well as Lagos State Parks and Gardens to sustain aesthetics in all the cleared areas.

Areas that have already been cleared and will be sustained in line with the directives of Governor Sanwo-Olu are the Onikan corridors including Police Zone 2 Office/Island Club, Race Course/Lagos Lawn Tennis Club and  Outer Marina.
