LAGOS TASKFORCE SERVES REMOVAL NOTICE TO OCCUPANTS OF ILLEGAL STRUCTURES AT ALABARAGO

The Lagos State Taskforce, led by CSP Shola Jejeloye, has served a removal notice to squatters and occupants of shanties and illegal structures at Alabarago in Ojo Local Government Area of the State, directing them to vacate the area immediately.

This comes after a previous notice was served to the occupants of the illegal structures on the 19th of May 2022 advising them to move out of the settlement which had been marked for demolition by the State Government. Jejeloye described the State of habitation in the area as deplorable and not fit for human occupancy due to the unhygienic activities and closeness of the shanties to the canal and drainage system in that axis.

“Illegal traders, occupants and miscreants should be ready to leave this place any moment from now. We have served them eviction notice previously to vacate this place but they have defied the instructions of the Government by inhabiting here”.

The Chairman assured them that the notice served to them two years ago still stands and will be enforced in the nearest future.

“Some of the occupants here believe the notice served two years ago no longer stands but i want to assure them that nothing has invalidated the notice and they should be prepared for demolition any minute from now”. Jejeloye stated

He assured Lagosians that no stoned will be left unturned till environmental degradation is completely stamped out of the State. He reiterated the commitment of the Lagos State Taskforce to enforce strict compliance to environmental laws as enshrined in the THEMES PLUS agenda of the State Government.
