The Ogun State Waste Management Authority (OGWAMA), in collaboration with Environmental Health Officers of Sagamu Local Government, has arrested a woman captured in a viral video allegedly dumping refuse into a drainage channel in Sagamu.

The woman was reportedly seen carrying a yellow sack containing waste before emptying it into the drainage during rainfall.

The incident attracted attention after a video of the act circulated online. In the footage, the woman appeared unbothered even after realising that she was being recorded and confronted over the indiscriminate disposal of the waste.

OGWAMA confirmed the arrest in a statement posted on X on Tuesday, saying the woman was apprehended following the circulation of the video.

The agency said the arrest was carried out last Friday by its officials working alongside Environmental Health Officers from Sagamu Local Government.

OGWAMA urged residents to stop dumping refuse indiscriminately and instead use waste collection operators accredited by the authority.

The agency also reminded residents that maintaining a clean environment was a collective responsibility, stating that “a cleaner Ogun State is a shared responsibility.”
