The Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (KAI) conducted a raid on a styrofoam warehouse situated at Ojuwoye market in Mushin, Lagos. The owner of the warehouse was found to have brought the banned styrofoam to the market early on a Tuesday morning.
The seized products have been confiscated and transported to the KAI office in Oshodi for proper disposal. The Lagos State Government is reinforcing its commitment to ensuring a healthier and cleaner environment for all residents.
