Good News? You Can Now Move Freely During Environmental Sanitation In Lagos

To some people this is good news, while some believe it will simply make a lot of people abandon their roles of tidying up their environment all in the name of walking freely during the exercise. Well a Federal High Court in Lagos has stopped the restriction of people moving freely during the last Saturday’s monthly exercise in Lagos. Here's how Punch reports it.
A Federal High Court in Lagos has declared as unlawful the restriction of citizens’ movement during the Lagos monthly environmental sanitation exercise.
Justice Mohammed Idris, in a judgment delivered on Monday, held that such restriction of movement in the name of sanitation amounted to a violation of the citizens’ right to personal liberty and freedom of movement as protected by sections 35 and 41 of the Constitution.
