The Lagos environmental sanitation corps says it will not allow sales of alcoholic drinks on roadsides and motor parks in the state.
In a statement issued on Sunday, Gbemisola Akinpelu, corps marshal of the agency, said “street trading on roadsides, pedestrian bridges, setbacks, medians and hawking on major highways” violate the state environmental laws. Akinpelu said the LAGESC enforcement team would ensure that motor parks are rid of those displaying alcoholic drinks at motor parks.
She added that the agency has made a number of arrests since it commenced enforcement and arraigned defaulters in court.Akinpelu warned street traders and hawkers to steer clear of Lagos roads, noting that operatives of the agency would intensify the clamp down in the days ahead. She added that Lagos state environmental laws provide for the distribution of seized perishable goods to orphanage homes on a daily basis and non-perishables be kept in storage until a court order is secured for public auction.
