The commissioner, who directed the Lagos Waste Management Agency and the Kick Against Indiscipline (KAI) to seal the markets, said: “The reasons for sealing Mile 12 International Market and the Owode Onirin Market are not unconnected with the indiscriminate dumping and burning of refuse, filthy environment, blocked and littered drains.
“The action also followed illegal and indiscriminate parking and abandonment of trucks on the highway leading to the two markets, impeding free flow of traffic.”
