Operatives of the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit (Taskforce) over the weekend demolished over 1,700 illegal shanties and containerised shops around Fagba Railway lines, Agege.

A statement signed by the Agency’s Head, Public Affairs Unit, Adebayo Taofiq, in Lagos State on Sunday stated that government through the Chairman of the Agency, CSP Olayinka Egbeyemi, served occupants of these illegal structures a 7-day ‘Removal Order’.

“This is necessitated based on series of complaints about criminal activities around Fagba, Agege,” the chairman said.

Egbeyemi said that after the expiration of the Removal Order, additional 21-day grace was given to the occupants of illegal structures to vacate the area before the demolition exercise commenced.
