This was made known in a statement by the state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, on X.com.

 

The arrests came after a citizen, #ARISE0214, reported the extortion on Wednesday, following heavy rainfall in the area.

 

Wahab confirmed the arrests on his X account, stating: ”Following a complaint made by #ARISE0214, miscreants charging people for using the makeshift crossover bridge at Tradefair this morning have been arrested by the operatives of Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps #LAGESCOfficial.
