Photos: Lagos Officials Discover Makeshift Clinic Along Lagos-Badagry Expressway

Lagos State environmental enforcement officials have uncovered a makeshift clinic operating from a roadside shanty along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway, where a patient was reportedly found receiving treatment.

The discovery was made around Barracks Bus Stop during a multi-agency enforcement operation targeting illegal structures and roadside shanties along the major highway.

The operation was carried out by the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Lagos State Task Force and other enforcement agencies.

The team, led by the LAGESC Corps Marshal, Major Olaniyi O. Cole (rtd.), reportedly came across the improvised medical facility while clearing the area.

According to the information available, officials found a patient receiving treatment inside the makeshift facility, raising concerns over the operation of an apparent medical facility in an unapproved roadside structure.

The discovery forms part of the wider enforcement exercise aimed at removing illegal structures and shanties along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.

The Lagos-Badagry corridor has witnessed several enforcement activities in recent times as authorities intensify efforts to clear illegal structures and improve safety and movement along the major highway.

Further details on the identity of the operator, the nature of treatment being administered and possible sanctions were not immediately available.
