Lagosians are now free to move around during monthly sanitation

A Reportt  written by Kolapo Olapoju of Ynaija says that 

Lagosians can now move around during the monthly environmental sanitation exercise.

According to the Federal High Court in Lagos, it is

unlawful to restrict the movement of citizens during the

monthly Lagos environmental sanitation exercise.

Justice Mohammed Idris delivered a judgment on

Monday, March 16, ruling that such restriction of

movement, in the name of sanitation, amounted to a

violation of the citizens’ right to personal liberty and

freedom of movement protected by sections 35 and 41 of the Constitution.

Consequently, he voided the power of the Lagos State

Government and its agents to arrest any citizen found

moving between 7am and 10am on the last Saturday

of every month, which is when the enviromental

sanitation exercise is observed.
