Wetin dey happen for Lagos na real wah! I no go fit talk say dem no go catch you if you dey dump refuse like say you no sabi wetin environment mean. One oga wey dem sabi as Makinde Rasaq, 48 years old, don land 13 months of community service as punishment for illegal waste dumping for Oshodi.
According to wahala wey dey for Lagos State X page, dis Rasaq man no dey play o! Last week, dem catch am for Lagos Island with him Honda SUV wey dey loaded with plenty refuse. Na wah! Dem come charge am for seven different wahala, and he gree say yes to all of dem.
The court don make am clear say e go do community service for 13 months instead of sitting down for prison. Wetin him do wey land am for this gbege? Dem say him dey do things like say him go dump refuse anywhere wey e like, disturb peace, no follow law when e come to waste matter, carry waste without license, and even block government people wey dey try do their work. Na serious matter o!
Dem catch am for Tinubu Fountain for Central Lagos as him dey dump refuse, and e be like say dem fit suspect say him be part of one group wey dey try make Lagos look dirty. Later, dem carry am go Adeniji-Adele Police Station before hand over am to Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) for proper trial.
Dr Muyiwa Gbedegesin, the oga wey dey manage Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), don talk say this judgment na clear warning to anybody wey go try waste Lagos with illegal dumping. Him dey urge all Lagosians to follow environmental laws and use the right channels to dey dispose their waste. He talk say proper waste management na collective work, and make we no dey do things wey no go make our environment better.
While e true say everybody dey generate waste, e no mean say we go just dey throw am anywhere. We sabi say Lagos fit be cleaner if we all follow rules wey dey for waste disposal. So my people, make we carry law follow and dey always use LAWMA-accredited PSP operators for all our refuse wahala. So, no be say dem go charge you too if you no follow law!
