The Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO) has shut down a residential estate situated at No. 96B, Ladipo Omotesho Street, Lekki Phase 1, citing persistent breaches of environmental laws.
The sealing exercise was carried out on Wednesday, the 7th of January, 2026, after the estate reportedly ignored multiple notices issued for non-compliance with the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law. The agency also accused residents of hindering its officials while carrying out their lawful responsibilities.
Details of the action were disclosed in a statement issued on Wednesday, the 7th of January, through the LSWMO’s official X account.
