A 56-year-old school guard was filmed emptying refuse into a drainage channel in Ikorodu. He has since been arrested and will be arraigned in court, the Lagos State Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources confirmed. Many condemned the guard’s actions as harmful to public health. Others pointed out that LAWMA has not collected household waste in over a month, forcing residents to seek alternate disposal methods. The incident has sparked heated debate online about persistent gaps in Lagos’s waste management system and the role of public authorities in keeping the city clean.

I agree, LAWMA should step up routine inspections and involve community watchers to catch errant disposal quickly.

It's suspicious that LAWMA took so long to respond even after the video went viral, some basic oversight seems missing.

Blaming LAWMA alone overlooks the fact that individuals also choose to break waste rules, enforcement isn't just on the authority's shoulders.

Local schools could assign designated waste collection points and schedule regular pickups by LAWMA to avoid drain dumping in Ikorodu.
