The Lagos State Government has sealed a well-known restaurant in Victoria Island after discovering that it was discharging wastewater illegally into the environment. According to officials, the restaurant failed to follow proper waste management rules, causing pollution and posing a serious health risk to residents and nearby businesses. The authorities said the action became necessary after several warnings were ignored.

Environmental enforcement officers explained that the wastewater was flowing into public drainage channels, which is against Lagos environmental standards. They stressed that such practices can lead to flooding, contamination, and widespread environmental damage. The team described the closure as part of ongoing efforts to keep the state clean and safe.

The government urged other restaurants and commercial establishments to ensure they operate within the law by installing proper waste and sewage systems. They warned that any business found endangering public health or the environment would face the same strict action, including heavy sanctions or immediate closure.

Officials assured residents that Lagos remains committed to protecting the environment and improving sanitation across all communities. They encouraged the public to report any illegal waste disposal activities, promising prompt investigation and enforcement to maintain a healthier city.
