Mixed reactions as Lagos KAI clears roadside market, seizes perishable items

Mixed reactions have greeted a report of the Lagos Environmental Sanitation Corps (LAGESC), popularly known as KAI, clearing the CMD/Magodo road of street traders.

In a now viral video posted on Monday by the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, on his X handle, KAI officials could be seen loading the seized goods in their truck.

“Bend down and pack something,” a voice ordered as some KAI officials hurriedly loaded their truck with yams, pepper, potatoes, cucumbers and other perishable items.
