The Lagos State Government has sealed off Donald Restaurant, a nightlife spot owned by celebrity socialite Cubana Chief Priest, for allegedly dumping waste illegally in Lekki Phase 1.
The Managing Director of the Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), Muyiwa Gbadegesin, confirmed the development on Saturday, May 18, 2025, via his X (formerly Twitter) account.
Gbadegesin said the illegal act was discovered after the Chairman of the Lekki Estate Residents Association (LERA) alerted LAWMA about indiscriminate waste dumping along Durosimi-Etti Street.
A white Ford van with Abuja number plates, GWA 136E, was caught dumping waste in the area. The vehicle was traced back to Donald Restaurant on Road 14 within the estate.
The suspects were apprehended on the spot by LERA’s Chief Security Officer and taken to the LERA Secretariat. Reports say they tried to bribe the security team with ₦100,000, which was rejected.
LAWMA’s Monitoring and Compliance Team later took over the case and sealed the restaurant for breaching the Lagos State Environmental Management and Protection Law of 2017.
Gbadegesin stated that the suspects would face legal action and warned other businesses against similar acts.
“LAWMA remains committed to enforcing environmental laws across the state. Everyone must take responsibility for keeping Lagos clean and livable,” he said.
