A drone footage of the encroachment of the drainage channel on System 156 (fully built) Igbo-Efon to Ikota channel in Lekki. Red arrow indicator showing the extent of encroachment and total blockade and diversion of system 156 Into system 157 by the developers and property owners. All the structures were fully built on the setbacks and alignment which is clearly an alteration of the Drainage Master Plan along the area.

The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources Mr Tokunbo Wahab,  further said on his X handle that they have served several contravention notices and enforcement will begin after the expiration of the contravention notices.

The Inewszone team, which is keeping an eye on the proceedings, has not yet gathered information regarding the punishment that will be meted out to any government officials who may have been involved in approving the structures’ start.

Follow along as we continue to bring you more of this unfolding tale.
