The Lagos State Special Offences (Mobile) Court was established on the mandate of addressing flagrant abuse of environmental and other related offences, with the intent to dispense justice by bringing offenders in line with extant laws and regulations in the State.

This was affirmed by the Coordinator of Lagos State Special Offences (Mobile) Court, Mr. Olufemi Adekunle. He stated this at the monthly technical meeting of the agency on the return of Monthly Sanitation Exercise.

He said that the establishment of the Mobile Court was fueled by the increasing surge in environmental offences and reiterated the government zero-tolerance stance on environmental infractions such as illegal dumping of refuse, blockage of drainage channels, and failure to patronize approved waste management operators.

He affirmed that residents or organizations found violating the regulations will be prosecuted accordingly.

He further said that the Mobile Court is ready to prosecute individuals or organizations who flout environmental sanitation laws, putting the public at risk, and that anyone found guilty of littering, dumping waste improperly, or other sanitation infractions would face the full weight of the law.

Finally, he urged everyone to comply with the laws by disposing waste properly, cleanliness of the environment and avoiding littering and dumping of waste in drainage, or engaging in activities that could harm the environment.
