The Lagos State Government has sealed two property in Victoria Island over environmental infractions linked to wastewater mismanagement and pollution.
The Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a post on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday.
According to him, the enforcement was carried out by the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office.
âThe Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO), on Wednesday, 8th April 2026, sealed off Wealth Hotel and Kings Court, located at Nos. 3 and 5 Keystone Bank Crescent, Victoria Island, over environmental infractions resulting in nuisance and pollution,â he stated.
Wahab explained that the action against Kings Court followed illegal activities linked to borehole drilling.
âThe enforcement action against Kings Court followed the unlawful discharge of wash-off sand from borehole drilling activities by an unlicensed driller into the drainage channel causing blockages and subsequent overflow of wastewater onto the adjoining road,â he said.
He added that Wealth Hotel was sealed after repeated complaints from members of the public.
âThe Wealth Hotel was also sealed after the agency received several confirmed public complaints on the deliberate discharge of faecal matter into the drainage system, constituting a serious environmental violation,â Wahab stated.
The commissioner reiterated the state governmentâs stance on environmental compliance, warning residents and businesses to adhere strictly to regulations.
âThe Lagos State Government reiterates the need for residents and property operators to adhere strictly to proper wastewater management practice.
âAny individual or organisation found contravening environmental regulations will be subjected to appropriate sanctions and possible prosecution in accordance with the law,â he added.
