Lagos Gives Alaba Rago Traders 72-Hour Eviction Notice

The Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental Law Enforcement has issued a 72-hour eviction notice to street traders and illegal occupants along the Alaba Rago corridor of the Mile 2–Badagry Expressway ahead of a major clean-up operation. Under the supervision of the Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources, the exercise will target trading on highways, walkways, medians and setbacks. Authorities plan to remove makeshift shops, mini brothels and plastic waste depots while clearing indiscriminate refuse to restore environmental order. Chief Superintendent of Police Adetayo Akerele said the government carried out stakeholder sensitisation before enforcement. He urged traders to vacate the area within 72 hours to avoid confiscation of goods and prosecution under the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law.
