The Lagos State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has advised residents, especially celebrities, to stop giving money to miscreants.

This was after a video showed the moment singer Burna Boy was leaving a Lagos night club in the morning.

The singer was in a McLaren super car, while the other vehicles in his convoy included a Cybertruck, Roll Royce, G-Wagon, etc. The convoy was preceeded by a van with armed security officers.

Despite the security presence, some miscreants couldn't help but try to finesse Burna Boy for some money as they kept doffing their hats and chanting his name while running after the convoy.

This infuriated an X user, @aje_olukay, who said, "The state needs to station the men of the Lagos State Neighborhood Watch to help & protect motorists from the harassment, extortion, assault & intimidation by the many homeless boys & teenagers along that corridor, they are all a menace to us all."

In response, Commissioner Wahab urged celebrities to stop giving such people money because doing so emboldens them to keep up with the act.

He said on X, "While your opinion is valid, let me also stress an important point: celebrities, influencers, and even well-meaning Lagosians must stop giving money to these miscreants. Each time you hand them cash, you are not solving their problem; you are encouraging them to stay on the streets, emboldening them to multiply, and reinforcing a cycle of lawlessness.

"What may seem like an act of kindness only makes enforcement more difficult and creates bigger security and environmental concerns for all of us."

Also reacting, the Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Media, Wale Ajetunmobi, said, "Giving handouts to layabouts actually subsidises their laziness."
