The median along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway has been an eyesore due to open defection.
In January the trend had become rampant. This is as miscreants defaced the road median with faeces. Which is causing pedestrians who cross the expressway to cover their noses.
The median from Berger in Lagos State inward Kara, Warewa and Mowe in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State. Had become regular spots for the menace.
Residents in the area had usually raised the alarm that the strong smells that oozed from the locations were dangerous for personal hygiene.
