Operatives of the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps, popularly known as Kick Against Indiscipline, have rescued a baby found at the Alakija junkyard along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway.
The rescue operation was carried out on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, during a multi-agency cleanup exercise along the Lagos-Badagry Expressway corridor.
The operation was part of efforts by the Lagos State Government and relevant agencies to rid the area of illegal activities and environmental degradation.
The discovery of the baby reportedly drew the attention of the environmental enforcement operatives, who immediately intervened and secured the child.
The circumstances surrounding how the baby was found at the junkyard were not immediately clear as of the time of filing this report.
The rescue has also raised concerns about the safety of vulnerable children and the activities taking place around junkyards and other informal settlements along major roads in the state.
The relevant authorities are expected to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident and determine how the child ended up at the location.
The rescued baby is expected to be handed over to the appropriate authorities for necessary care and protection, pending further investigation.
The multi-agency cleanup of the Lagos-Badagry Expressway corridor is aimed at restoring environmental sanity and tackling activities considered illegal or hazardous to residents and road users.
Authorities have continued to intensify enforcement operations across the state as part of efforts to maintain cleaner and safer public spaces.
