The Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps have arrested some miscreants extorting traders and other Lagosians on the pedestrian bridge in Yaba.

The miscreants were arrested after a viral video on social media showed the miscreants collecting cash from Lagosians before using the pedestrian bridge.

This was revealed in a statement posted on X by the Commissioner of Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab.

He wrote;

“In response to the viral video of some miscreants extorting traders and other Lagosians on a pedestrian bridge in Yaba, I instructed the Corps Marshal of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps @LAGESCOfficial to immediately arrest the persons and the officer involved.

They will be arraigned immediately in court while the clampdown on those on the run would continue. #ZeroToleranceLagos #CleanerLagos.”
