Sallah: Cole Enjoins Lagos Residents on Proper Waste Disposal, Environmental Cleanliness in the Metropolis.

As Muslims around the globe are set to mark the Eid-el-Adha holidays to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's obedience to the dictates of Allah, the Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) popularly known as KAI has urged Lagos residents to adopt environmentalally-responsible acts via proper waste disposal, engaging in all-inclusive environmental sanitation during and after the Sallah holidays.

This was disclosed by the Corps Marshal of the Agency, Major Olaniyi Olatubosun Cole (Rtd) in a statement made available to newsmen at the Command Headquarters situated at Bolade-Oshodi. According to him, "the Sallah holidays are very significant to the Muslim world, being that the sacrificial act of slaughtering rams commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's obedience to Allah thousands of years ago. While Lagos residents and particularly Muslim faithfuls celebrate in Lagos, we keep advocating for the promotion of proper waste disposal, patronage of PSP operators and adoption of environmentally-appealing choices".

Cole also revealed how operatives of the Agency will remain at their operational beats to continually monitor for environmental infractions, effect arrests of environmental defaulters and sensitize relevant stakeholders on the need for increased voluntary compliance to the State's environmental laws.

The retired Major also read the riot act to Lagos residents to desist from displaying wares for sale on setbacks, lay-bys, kerbs, road verges, medians, gutter slabs, citing how street trading impedes vehicular and pedestrian movement on our roads.

He finally highlighted the need for transiting Lagos commuters to remain safety-compliant by accessing strategically-erected pedestrian bridges in the stead of crossing highways which results to 'hit and run' cases by speeding motorists, thereby causing grievous bodily harm or death in some cases.

3 Hoodlums Bag Prison Terms for Aggravated Assault Against KAI Operative During Olowu-Ipodo Enforcement Operation

Following incessant public outcry and expiation of served abatement notices to activate voluntary compliance, the Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC) popularly known as KAI conducted a clearance operation to dislodge illegal traders constituting vehicular, pedestrian and criminal infractions at No 38, Olowu Street, Ipodo area of the metropolis, resulting in the arrest and subsequent prosecution of a criminal trio for aggravated assault on an operative of the Agency on Tuesday.

This disclosure was made available to newsmen by the Corps Marshal, Major Olaniyi Olatunbosun Cole (Rtd) at the Command Headquarters of the Agency situated at Bolade-Oshodi. According to the Corps Marshal of the Agency, ‘‘we received intelligence reports and eye-witness accounts about the activities of street traders on that Olowu Street axis causing heavy gridlock for vehicular and pedestrian movement whilst a container obstructing the Right of Way was removed and in this process, hoodlums attacked one of our operatives by slashing his wrist with a knife in a singular case of aggravated assault but for prompt medical attention, the situation would have escalated’’.

Cole revealed the suspects namely as Farouk Olori, M, 25, Ogundare Oluwatobiloba, M, 27, Taoreed Alimi, M, 20 who were arraigned before Magistrate Ariyo of the Special Offences Court situated at Bolade-Oshodi on 3-counts charge bordering on Breach of Peace,Obstruction of lawful duty and Unlawful Assault, contrary to Sections 168(1) (d), (2), Sections 117 (1) (2) and Section 173 of the Criminal Laws of Lagos State 2015. In the judgement, the presiding Magistrate sentenced the 1st and 3rd defendants to a week in jail with the option of community service while the 2nd defendant who was identified by the court based on available evidence as the assailant, bagged a sentence of 1 year in jail.

The retired Major hailed the decision of the court, citing the judgement as a positive indicator meant to deter criminals, hoodlums and unscrupulous elements in the habit of obstructing and attacking law enforcement operatives promoting the activation of the THEMES+ agenda of Mr. Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu which seeks to make Lagos habitable for business. He further warned Lagos residents to desist from taking the laws into their hands, just as he enjoined environmental defaulters to tow the lenient part of voluntary compliance in the stead of operations.

Finally, the Corps Marshal sounded the charge for street traders in the habit of displaying wares for sale on road setbacks, lay-bys, medians, verges, medians, kerbs and verges to desist from engaging in environmentally-deterrent practices, maintaining that open urination and defecation remains banned and illegal in the State as defaulters would be made to face the law.

EASTER CELEBRATION: LAGESC ENJOINS RESIDENTS ON ENVIRONMENTAL CLEANLINESS

The Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), popularly known as KAI, has enjoined Lagos residents to maintain environmentally-positive practices during and after the Easter celebration.

The advice was contained in a press statement issued by the Corps Marshal, Major Olaniyi Olatunbosun Cole (Rtd) on Friday.

According to him, "The resurrection of Jesus Christ is quite significant to the global Christian faith at Easter. Also important that during the celebration, Lagosians maintain best practices for the environment, such as proper waste disposal whilst eschewing acts such as street trading, open defecation and urination, possession of valid waste collection contracts and observing monthly environmental sanitation exercises by the State".

Cole also enjoined traders to desist from displaying wares for sale on the road setbacks, lay-bys, medians, verges, and kerbs, citing how street trading culminates in vehicular and pedestrian gridlock on roads in the metropolis.

The retired Major also read the riot act to owners of buildings to obtain a valid waste collection contract, as defaulters will be made to face the wrath of the law when apprehended for improper waste disposal and failure to subscribe to an approved PSP operator to cart away refuse periodically.

He admonished Lagosians to voluntarily observe the reintroduced monthly environmental sanitation exercise by the State, refrain from engaging in acts of open defecation and urination, just as he enjoined transiting Lagos residents to prioritise safety by using strategically-erected pedestrian bridges when crossing major highways in the State.
