@historicallagos: Before the courts stepped in, Environmental Sanitation Day was a ritual in Lagos. On the last Saturday of every month, from 7am to 10am, movement was restricted across the state. Roads emptied, shops shut, and residents came out to sweep their surroundings and clear drains. Anyone found moving about during those hours risked being picked up by enforcement officials and taken before a mobile court. This clip shows the KAI (Kick Against Indiscipline) Chairman taking BBC reporter Louis Theroux around Lagos on sanitation morning. Even a megacity of millions went quiet for three hours. The system ended in stages: 📍 March 2015: a Federal High Court ruled that restricting movement for sanitation was unlawful. 📍 November 2016: the Appeal Court nullified it, and Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode cancelled the monthly exercise. 📍 2026: Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu brought it back as a voluntary clean-up on the last Saturday of the month, from 6:30am to 8:30am, with no movement restriction. One part of the old routine never stopped. Lagos markets still observe sanitation every Thursday from 7am to 10am. Do you remember the last Saturday sanitation mornings? 👇 Video credit: BBC Studios #historicallagos #lagoshistory #lagosyouknow #environmentalsanitation #sanitationday kai louistheroux bbc lagosstate nigeriahistory oldlagos lagosmemories
