The Lagos State chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party has called on the Federal Government to halt what it called “the selfish and barbaric sandfilling of the ocean and lagoon in Lagos State in the overall interest of the country and to particularly forestall further loss of lives and property” arising from the apparent disregard of the state government in managing the environment.
The party also berated what it described as the Lagos State Government’s deceptive and diversionary evacuation of occupants from areas which direct government negligence had caused calamities.
The call by the PDP is on the heels of the frequent ocean surge, the latest of which claimed lives and property on Friday.
It also made the beach a no go area for fun seekers during the Sallah holiday.
