Similarly, Kunle Rotimi-Akodu, a Special Adviser to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, confirmed the eviction of squatters due to illegal settlements and environmental violations in a post on social media.

Rotimi-Akodu stated, “Squatters residing under the bridge leading from inward Dolphin Estate, Ikoyi, were evicted on Tuesday, 30th of April, 2024, by officials of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), also known as KAI. These individuals established their illegal settlement under the bridge, posing a threat to critical infrastructure. So far, 23 persons have been arrested, and the Ministry of Environment/KAI will continue to monitor the area. Legal action will be taken.”

He further added, “The removal of dwellings under Dolphin bridge is ongoing. An additional 11 individuals have been arrested.
