By Residents of the Mile 12 area in Lagos State are lamenting the activities of public toilet operators who they alleged are discharging faeces into the Maidan River located in the area. PUNCH HealthWise investigates this threat to public health.“We are tired of the way public toilet operators in this Maidan area of Mile 12 pollute the environment with human faeces.

According to him, the operators of the public toilets have for years been disposing of human faeces into the river unchallenged despite the environmental and health hazards of their actions. The Mile 12 Market, Maidan Road and Agiliti and its environs are located in Kosofe Local Government Area of Lagos State.

“Those of us living on Agiliti road, Maidan road, Oniyanrin street, and Oremerin street are the worst hit. Continuing, he said, “We usually buy water from Meruwa and we can’t guarantee the cleanliness of that water. And also, people just dump refuse anyhow in this area. You can see how dirty the environment is.

Similarly, PUNCH HealthWise observed that the river is also used for refuse disposal. Residents of the area confirmed that cart pushers come to deposit waste generated from Mile 12 Market into the river, an activity that the residents noted further compounds a bad situation.
