The restaurant, located in the affluent Lekki area, was shut down after two employees were caught improperly disposing of waste along the roadside.

This incident occurred on Durosimi-Etti Street in Lekki Phase 1 and was reported early on Saturday, May 18, 2025, by the Chairman of the Lekki Estate Residents Association.

This action underscores our zero-tolerance stance on environmental violations. No one is above the law.

Following the report, the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA) promptly dispatched its Monitoring and Compliance team to the location.

The team apprehended the individuals responsible and “sealed off the restaurant” for violating the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law of 2017.

Confirming the event via his official X (formerly Twitter) account, LAWMA Managing Director/CEO, Muyiwa Gbadegesin, stated that “the culprits will be prosecuted accordingly.”
