“My wife is unable to sleep in the house, her mind is never at rest, two of my young children have developed high blood pressure.”

Mr Folarin said it was when construction began on the site that they realised it was meant for a telecom mast.

He said since he was working seven hours per day in Agbara Industrial Estate, he said he accepted the offer and was being paid N10,000 monthly. Mr Folarin said that he consulted with the community leaders, the family that sold the land to the company, a lawyer, and the Area K, Police Command in Badagry over the issue.“We cannot leave our houses because MTN brought a mast to the area, it is a residential area and they met us here,” he said.that the problem with the IHS mast has brought a setback to his family health-wise, with the condition of his wife consistently relapsing.

Although there is no medical report to show any health condition of his wife was caused by the network mast, Mr Folarin said her health worsened due to the closeness of the tower to his house and the disturbance it causes. “There was slight sign of air pollution but no oil spillage at the site; there is a hybrid power system at the site although not operational; The noise level of the generator at the demised building is 68.2 decibel ,” the report says.

Despite the recommendation that the solar batteries powering the network mast should be replaced, IHS did not comply with this directive since 2019.
