Lagos govt seals Messrs Charterhouse over wetland loss
The Lagos State Ministry of Environment and Water Resources has sealed off Messrs Charterhouse for environmental violations.
Tokunbo Wahab, the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, made this known on his X handle on Sunday.
Mr Wahab said it was sealed over alleged illegal reclamation of wetland and construction without requisite drainage clearance and wetland permit.
He said the enforcement operatives from the ministry’s wetland and conservation department sealed Messrs Charterhouse after being served a stop work order.
“This property around Ogombo in Eti-Osa Local Government was sealed off over an illegal reclamation of wetland and construction without requisite drainage clearance and wetland permit.
“The ministry had earlier served a stop-work order on August 15 on Messrs Charterhouse and the adjourning properties.
“This stop work order was for causing wetland loss and degradation, biodiversity loss, desecration of the buffer zone holding excess water and prevent flooding,” he said.
