The Lagos State Government has demolished over 200 illegal shanties and dislodged several criminal hideouts beneath Costain, Ijora, and Apapa Road.
The large-scale operation was coordinated by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Transportation, Sola Giwa, and supported by multiple agencies.
The enforcement aimed to reclaim public spaces, restore environmental order, and curb criminal activities along key transport corridors.
During the clearance, operatives of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) discovered a dummy gun and other weapons hidden under the bridges.
LASTMA Director of Public Affairs and Enlightenment, Adebayo Taofiq, confirmed the discovery in a statement issued in Lagos.
