Sun Drying Clothes In Front Of Houses Is Now A Crime In Lagos

The state Commissioner for Environment, Mr Tunji Bello, yesterday after the monthly sanitation exercise said, the State Government will seal up any building where residents display their clothes outside indiscriminately.

According to him, spreading of washed clothes on fences, frontage of buildings and bridge railings has become the norm in some parts of the state and the practice constitutes a nuisance to the environment. Tough actions would be taken against erring persons. Houses where compound residents also hang their clothes outside will be sealed, Mr Bello concluded.

LAWMA officials have also been directed to pack those clothes as refuse wherever they see them.
