17 Arraigned In Lagos Court For Urinating And Defecating In Public Places by TITOPE(op): 8:57pm On Feb 19
Today, 17 environmental offenders apprehended by @Lawma_gov operatives were arraigned before the Magistrate Court sitting at Bolade, Oshodi, for urinating and defecating in public places.

The court found the defendants guilty and sentenced each offender to pay a fine of N40,000 or serve one month imprisonment.

Let this serve as a clear reminder that open urination and defecation are environmental offences and serious public health risks. Lagos State will continue to enforce sanitation laws firmly to protect public health, preserve human dignity and maintain order in our communities.

We urge residents to make use of available public sanitation facilities and comply with environmental regulations. Cleanliness is a shared responsibility.

Some of them will even poopoo for main road in midnight. And if you are in haste going for work early in the morning and don't look well, you will just smash the poo with your shoe and be carrying it around aimlessly. angry



Even though these ones were caught My question is; Do those public places were they were caught have public toilets?
I believe they will utilize them if they have.

Did Lagos state government provide an alternative for people to ease themselves?


Useless and irresponsible government, you didn't do your work as a government but you want the citizens to maintain law and other.


Provide public toilets for people to use and pay across your state Jaree, then you can arrest those who refused to use it, block heads in power.


🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What has the LASG built for people to use?
Always trying to claim where they no reach.

Collect heavy tax but can't clean street drains even for once a year.
