Lagos commissioner debunks N40million bribe from Ladipo market

Lagos state commissioner for environment and water resources, Tokunbo Wahab, has addressed allegations of a N40 million demand for the Ladipo market reopening.

Responding to a user’s comment on an online publication (Not The Nation) claiming the commissioner demanded 40 million to reopen the Ladipo market, Wahab dismissed it as ‘Fake News.’

He clarified that the payment would only be applicable if someone owes the Lagos State Waste Management Authority, urging residents not to fall for scams.

Debunking the rumour on his X handle on Tuesday, October 10, he wrote: “Except you are owing #Lawma_gov for services rendered, you are not required to pay any official any money (bribe) to get your facility/market re-opened. Please do not fall victim to a scammer. The drive to ensure a cleaner & safer environment is in line with Gov #jidesanwoolu led administration’s T.H.E.M.E.S+ Agenda.”
