The Lagos Waste Management Authority has warned that buyers patronising illegal roadside and median markets in Lagos will face arrest. An official urged residents and businesses to use recognised markets and approved waste collection channels, stressing that personal convenience must not come at the expense of public health, environmental sanitation, road safety and the orderly use of the city's shared spaces.

The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) has expanded its waste removal efforts across major communities in Lagos, specifically along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway corridor. Recent evacuations took place at Ile Oba Bus Stop, Ijanikin, and near the Otto Ijanikin Primary Health Care facility in Ojo.

Hundreds of traders and occupants along the Alaba Rago corridor in Lagos have been issued a 72-hour ultimatum to vacate the area prior to a significant enforcement operation, according to Tori.ng.

The East Africa Law Society (EALS) has called on the Kenyan government to ensure its crackdown on unlicensed foreign traders is conducted in accordance with the law. In a statement issued in Nairobi, the regional legal body emphasised that enforcement measures against illegal foreign traders must follow due process and respect legal standards. The appeal comes as Kenyan authorities pursue action against foreign nationals trading without proper licences, a move that has drawn attention from legal and business stakeholders across East Africa.

Residents and business owners along Idimu Ejigbo Road in Lagos are raising concerns over a large accumulation of rubbish that has occupied part of the busy road for six months, according to Tori.ng. The waste pile has reportedly disrupted movement and daily activities in the area, prompting frustration among those who live and work nearby. Affected community members are calling on authorities to clear the refuse and address the situation, which they say has persisted without intervention.

The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) sealed eight establishments across several parts of Lagos over what it described as persistent violations of environmental regulations. According to a LASEPA statement, the affected facilities are located in Baruwa-Ipaja, Mushin, Maryland, Anthony Village, Anthony and Gbagada. The enforcement exercise was carried out on Monday, September 7, 2026, in line with existing environmental rules, though the statement's further details were not fully provided.
