Lagos threatens to seize clothes in open places

The Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment, Tunji Bello, on Wednesday said the state government would start to seize clothes spread on balcony railings along major highways, bridges, railings on landscape sites, walkways and other open public spaces in the state.


Bello said those who engaged in the uncivilised acts would not only forfeit the clothes to homes and orphanages; they would also be prosecuted according to the state sanitation laws.


The commissioner, who spoke while on an inspecting some areas in the state, said the government had been observing with concern that some public buildings, offices, bridges and residential buildings along major highways in the state, especially on Kingsway and Awolowo roads; First and Second Avenue, Ikoyi; Victoria Island; Apapa; Ikorodu Road and Ijora were engaging in the retrogressive culture.


He said, "Some of the private and government buildings on these routes had been turned into drycleaners lines for the spreading of washed clothes along many highways and inner streets.


"This act is also noticeable in areas where we have large concentration of mechanic workshops as well as along drainage alignments. Residents should spread their washed clothes within the confines of their environment."

Bello advised landlords who engaged security guards to educate them on the implications of the act, saying the government would not hesitate to apply the full sanctions of sanitation laws on any culprit.
