Beggars constituting environmental and public nuisance were arrested yesterday... along the Lekki–Epe Expressway and other surrounding areas. These enforcement actions are part of our ongoing efforts to restore order, protect public spaces, and ensure a cleaner and safer Lagos. We will continue to sustain these operations across the State, as no one is above the law. Lagos must work for everyone, and public spaces cannot be allowed to degenerate into zones of disorder. #CleanerLagosshow more

As part of our sustained efforts to eliminate open... defecation and improve public sanitation across Lagos State, we currently have 1,710 functioning public toilets strategically located across the state for residents and visitors. However, government cannot do this alone. We are encouraging businesses such as filling stations, banks, eateries, and other public-facing facilities to make their restrooms accessible to the public where possible. This collaborative approach will significantly complement government efforts and expand access to sanitation facilities across the state. At the same time, we continue to enforce environmental sanitation laws. Individuals caught engaging in open defecation are being arrested and prosecuted in accordance with the law. These measures are necessary to protect public health, preserve dignity, and maintain a cleaner environment for all. Access to sanitation is a shared responsibility. While government continues to expand infrastructure, residents and businesses must also play their part in ensuring Lagos remains clean, safe, and habitable. #CleanerLagos #GreaterLagosshow more

The Lagos State Rapid Response Squad (RRS) conducted a... midnight enforcement operation along the Lekki–Ajah Expressway to apprehend miscreants and hoodlums who have been constituting a nuisance and posing a threat to motorists and other road users. The operation was targeted at individuals who allegedly harass and intimidate motorists, extort money from them, and, in some instances, damage vehicles when motorists refuse to yield to their demands. The RRS will continue to sustain intelligence-led operations and enforcement actions against criminal elements whose activities threaten public safety and disrupt the free movement of people and vehicles across the State. #ZeroToleranceLagosshow more

While we continue to arrest and prosecute defaulters in... accordance with the law, it is important to emphasise that lasting change goes beyond enforcement. Doing the right thing should not depend on the presence of enforcement officers. Environmental responsibility must become a personal and collective culture. Taking ownership of our environment means using available public toilets, discouraging open defecation, keeping public spaces clean, and holding one another accountable. A cleaner Lagos is not built only through enforcement, but through everyday decisions made by residents who understand that public hygiene protects everyone. When we act responsibly, even in the absence of enforcement teams, we move closer to building a cleaner, healthier, and more dignified Lagos for all. #CleanerLagos #GreaterLagosshow more

A total of 115 street beggars were arrested today... across various locations in the State during the ongoing enforcement operations. In addition, 26 members of the notorious ‘Omotaku’ group who were apprehended from different parts of Lagos within the last 24 hours, were arraigned before the Magistrate Court in Oshodi. They pleaded guilty to the charges brought against them and were sentenced to three (3) months’ imprisonment in accordance with the law. This action reinforces the State Government’s firm stance against activities that threaten public safety, order, and the effective use of public spaces. Enforcement efforts will continue across the State to ensure compliance with existing laws and to maintain a safe and orderly environment for all Lagosians. #ZeroToleranceLagosshow more

This man in Lexington, Kentucky, goes downtown dressed as... a "woman," sometimes as a high school cheerleader, as part of his public humiliation fetish. For men like him, being a female is humiliating, and lowering his status to that of a woman is a sexually thrilling experience. Men like this gather in online communities where they encourage each other to "go public", ie, take their fetish out into the public sphere. These men are now considered to be "transgender," part of a protected group, and have access to spaces where women and girls undress. They record their outings as inspirational footage for other men, and they sometimes perform sexual acts in public spaces, such as parks, restrooms, and convenience stores.show more
