You’re Drinking Sh*t Water!” – Lagos Official Drops Sh*cking Warning To Lekki Residents Using Boreholes Video

The Permanent Secretary of the Lagos State Office of Drainage Services, Mahmood Adegbite, has raised concerns about water quality in Lekki, warning that residents drilling boreholes in the area may unknowingly be consuming contaminated water.

Speaking at a recent stakeholders’ meeting, Adegbite addressed several environmental challenges facing the state, including unseasonal rainfall and persistent flooding. He noted:

“It rained heavily yesterday, which is unusual for the August break. This shift is due to a range of complex environmental issues.

Despite significant investments in flood control, more still needs to be done in that area.

On the issue of wastewater treatment, I must state that anyone drilling a borehole in the Lekki axis is likely consuming what I would bluntly describe as ‘contaminated water.’”

Adegbite stressed the importance of proper wastewater management in the area and revealed that the state government has plans in place to treat sewage and prevent health hazards linked to untreated waste.

“If we’re able to effectively treat all wastewater in this axis—something we’re already planning for—we can eliminate diseases that arise from improper waste disposal,” he added.

A video of his comments was shared online.
