The Lagos state government has warned lagosians to be wary of the activities of individuals who impersonate and parade themselves as officials of the Ministry of the Environment in order to extort residents.

The Commissioner for the Environment, Mr. Babatunde Durosinmi-Etti gave this warning on Tuesday while parading Mr. Etim Okon who was apprehended while allegedly impersonating officers of the Ministry in the Ago Palace area of the State.
