Lagos Issues 48-Hour Eviction Notice To Property Owners Blocking Drainage by Ibrahimcoomasie: 3:05pm On Jul 07
The Lagos State Government has issued a 48-hour vacation notice to squatters and owners of illegal structures along the Gbagada-Bariga drainage channel.

The announcement was made by the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, via a post on social media platform, X on Sunday.

Wahab explained that the drainage channel, which serves to deflood the Bariga, Gbagada, Sholuyi downstream communities, and other environs, has been blocked by squatters and obstructive structures.

This blockage has significantly contributed to the recent flooding in the area.

“The drainage channel which defloods Bariga, Gbagada, Sholuyi downstream communities and environs, and discharges into System 1 has been taken over by squatters who have constituted nuisance and security risks to the estate, and property owners who deliberately built to obstruct free flow of water in the area,” Wahab stated.

“Shanties were erected along the length of the channel, and their activities blocked collectors that are supposed to carry stormwater into the channel, which resulted in the flooding experienced during the week.”

Wahab added that following the expiration of the eviction notices, the Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources will begin the removal of the illegal structures to restore proper drainage and mitigate flooding in the area.

This action comes after a 10-hour downpour on Wednesday that caused severe flooding in many parts of Lagos and Ogun states.

The heavy rain resulted in the collapse of a two-storey building in Mushin, halted vehicular movement on several roads, and disrupted business and commercial activities. Thousands of residents were affected, and many pupils were unable to attend school.

As it should be. They should go and find a better accommodation and stop being a nuisance to the community.

Don't be surprised some people from the sad part of the country will say it is targeted at them. But they are still same set of people who would post Lagos flood online to mock the great city.
But remember in all your hate against Lagos, we will always remind you that EKO ONI BAJE O.

You are Igbo and you are looking for an opportunity to accuse the Lagos State Government of tribalism.

Let me just tell you, Ago Okota is next. The houses built on floodplains and drainage path are going down. Then, you will be able to cry in your native language.

Don't worry, Sanwo-Olu will make the state liveable for all.

He will right the wrongs of Tinubu through massive cleanup and y'all will learn the hard way.

Tnubu's leniency on illegal dwellers is one of the reasons Lagos is going through this troubles.

Just get ready to weep.
