The Lagos State Government took enforcement action on Thursday against street hawkers and handcart pushers in different areas of the state.

The Lagos State Commissioner of the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, confirmed this in a statement, with some of those arrested being interrogated and prosecuted.

“As I instructed, Special Squad Operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC)/kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) today took enforcement action against street hawkers and handcart pushers hindering the free flow of traffic and constituting environmental nuisances,” Wahab wrote.

He added that the arrests took place at Iyana Ipaja, Oshodi, Obanibasiri, Airport road and 7&8.

Other places affected were Okota, Oke Afa, Jakande Gate, Ijegun Road, Ikotun, Igando and Egbeda areas.
