The Lagos State government has given a five-day quit notice to squatters under the Ijora Causeway Bridge and the Lagos Blue Rail Line overhead bridge in Ijora.

The quit notice was given by Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, TOKUNBO WAHAB when he led a team on an inspection of the axis.

WAHAB, who lamented the security risk posed by minibuses, block moulders, fuel sellers and miscreants, said the government will not allow the trend to continue.

He ordered them to remove their shanties for constituting danger to the Lagos Blue Line corridor or face demolition and forced removal.

He also gave a 24-hour quit notice to persons selling petroleum products under the Ijora Bridge to move their trucks and containers or risk confiscation.

The commissioner said the State Task Force on Special Offences will take full possession of the expanse of land under the Ijora Causeway Bridge.
