According to him, they will remove all illegal structures and dislodge all squatters and miscreants in Ikoyi and Victoria Island.

He said that they would focus on the clearing of refuse, identification, and removal of all illegal structures on setbacks, walkways, drainage alignments as well as roadside mechanics who have converted several open spaces to automobile workshops.

Bello reiterated that leisure houses, night clubs, and karaoke stations, who engage in noise pollution, will be served with abatement notices as the law dictates before the full force of the law is applied.

He stated that the committee would also enforce the provision of the State Traffic law during the enforcement by apprehending and prosecuting commercial motorcycle riders who ply restricted routes and drive against traffic and commercial buses that drive against traffic and pick passengers on the main road.
