Lagos seals Domino’s Pizza outlet over sewage discharge violation

The Lagos State Government says it has sealed off Domino’s Pizza, located at No. 38B, Freedom Way, Lekki, Eti-Osa, over the indiscriminate discharge of untreated sewage into the environment.

The state Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, disclosed this in a statement posted on his X handle on Tuesday.

According to him, the action followed a complaint from a resident and a subsequent investigation carried out by the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office.

“Following a complaint received from a concerned resident and a thorough investigation, the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office (LSWMO), on Wednesday 12th May, 2026, sealed-off Dominion Pizza at No. 38B, Freedom Way, Lekki, Eti-Osa, Lagos, over indiscriminate discharge of untreated sewage from its chamber due to an overfilled septic tank into the environment and public drains, causing environmental nuisance, offensive odour, as well as endangering human health,” the statement read.

Wahab said the discharge created environmental nuisance, emitted offensive odour, and posed health risks to residents in the area.

The commissioner warned that residents and property managers must adhere strictly to proper wastewater management practices, adding that violators would face sanctions and possible prosecution under existing environmental laws.

“@followlasg reiterates the need for residents and property managers to adhere strictly to proper wastewater management practices, noting that any individual or organisation found contravening environmental regulations will be meted with appropriate sanctions and possible prosecution in accordance with the enabling laws,” he stated

He also provided contact numbers for reporting environmental violations in the state as 08022022397and 07025332163.

The action aligns with ongoing enforcement drives by the Lagos State Government against illegal sewage discharge, particularly in high-density residential and commercial areas like Lekki.

Similar operations have recently targeted estates, event centres, and other restaurants in the area.
