Lagos Condemns Army Attack on Sanitation Officers
The Lagos State Government condemned the “unprovoked attack” on the Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI) by Nigerian Army personnel in Yaba. Commissioner for the Environment, Tokunbo Wahab, reported that the incident occurred while KAI officers were performing their lawful duties.
The situation was quickly controlled thanks to Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General T. Lagbaja and Lt. Col. T.E. Ogbonyomi. Wahab expressed gratitude for their intervention, allowing KAI officers to continue their work without disruption. He emphasized that military personnel must respect civil authority and that such attacks on law enforcement will not be tolerated.
Wahab stated, “We strongly condemn this unwarranted assault on officers executing their duties. We are committed to maintaining a cleaner Lagos while upholding safety and sanitation standards.” This incident follows a September case where a suspect was arrested for assaulting a Ministry of Environment staff member while resisting arrest after defecating on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
It has been reported that Bola Ahmed Tinubu was absent at the commissioning of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge, which took place on April 8, 2026.
