The Lagos State Government through the Lagos state Environmental and Special Offence Taskforce on Thursday, monitored compliance by street traders at Ikotun, Alimosho local government area.
The team also carried out enforcement at the Ikotun BRT bus terminal which has been taken over illegally by street vendors for commercial activities.
Wares of different types and businesses have taken over the entire stretch of the terminal compounding traffic gridlock at the popular bus stop.
According to the commissioner for environment and water resources, Tokunbo Wahab, “all items and wares displayed at the unauthorised location were seized and the bus station and its surroundings sanitized of menace caused by the activities of vendors who have converted the bus station and the public road for commercial purposes.”
Also, “nine suspects were apprehended during the exercise and they will all be charged to court accordingly.”
