Dear Lagosians, you can now move around during environmental sanitation

Lagosians can now move around during the monthly environmental sanitation exercise.

According to the Federal High Court in Lagos, it is unlawful to restrict the movement of citizens during the monthly Lagos environmental sanitation exercise.

Justice Mohammed Idris delivered a judgment on Monday, March 16, ruling that such restriction of movement, in the name of sanitation, amounted to a violation of the citizens’ right to personal liberty and freedom of movement protected by sections 35 and 41 of the Constitution.

Consequently, he voided the power of the Lagos State Government and its agents to arrest any citizen found moving between 7am and 10am on the last Saturday of every month, which is when the enviromental sanitation exercise is observed.
