Blame LAWMA for his action. They haven't picked trash in one month - Netizens react to video of 56-year-old school guard dumping thrash in drainage
A viral video shows a school guard dumping trash into a drainage, leading to public outcry. Many netizens blame LAWMA for the ongoing waste collection failures in Lagos.
Some Nigerians on social media have blamed the Lagos Waste Management Authority LAWMA for the actions of the 56-year-old school guard who was caught on tape dumping refuse in a drainage in Ikorodu.
The Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, revealed that the security guard has been arrested and will be arraigned in court.
While many condemned the actions of the security guard, others, however, claimed that LAWMA has, over time, failed in its duties to pick trash from the homes of residents of the state. Some argued that LAWMA has not visited their homes in over a month to pick trash.
