The Lagos State Government has closed Oko-Oba Abattoir in the state over environmental violations and inappropriate operational practices.
The Lagos State Commissioner For Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, made this known while speaking with journalists after an inspection tour of the abattoir in Lagos on Thursday, June 19, 2025.
Wahab, who expressed disappointment about the situation of the abattoir, lashed out the operators for defying regulations.
He, however, appealed to communities to take ownership of their neighbourhoods.
The commissioner stated: “The operators have also defied regulations, and they have chosen to be law unto themselves.

“They slaughter animals, discharge waste into the public drainage system, and it’s just unacceptable.”
Wahab added that the ministry would take a drastic, firm, and decisive action until they were able to comply with the minimum standard.
Wahab who also visited Johnathan Coker Road along the Agege area of Lagos State expressed deep concern over the deplorable state of infrastructure orchestrated by some mid rants.
He disclosed some individuals had been found chiselling iron rods from bridges and drainage systems funded by taxpayers.
The commissioner called on Community Development Associations (CDAs) to take ownership.
