Adegboruwa Calls Lagos’s Forced Sanitation Lockdown Illegal

Senior Advocate Ebun Adegboruwa says the Lagos State Government’s directive forcing residents to stay indoors every last Saturday is unconstitutional. He alleges that police, LASTMA, health officers and even area boys were deployed to intimidate citizens exercising their right to free movement during the exercise. Adegboruwa points out that no published law empowers such a restriction and challenges the government to make its 2017 health law public for scrutiny. He argues that Lagos needs positive policy reforms, not coercive tactics reminiscent of outdated military-era rules.
