Harmony Gardens Takes A Swipe At Sahara Reporters Over Defamatory Publication Against Its CEO, Dr. Audullahi Saheed Mosadoluwa As It Seeks Apology, Legal Redress

The management of Harmony Gardens and Estate Development Limited, has officially reacted to the misleading and malicious story fabricated by Sahara Reporters on Friday March 7, 2025 which purported that the CEO of the organization, Dr. Audullahi Saheed Mosadoluwa was shot by the personnel of Nigerian Navy and that his security aides were overpowered and detained at the naval base in the Oko Orisan near one of the Hon. Audullahi Saheed Mosadoluwa Majestic Bay Estate area of Epe, Lagos State.

The management wondered why Sahara Reporters was always known for peddling fake news about harmony Gardens and the CEO , promoting almost 21  falsehoods links on Sahara report with penchant for blackmail journalism and brazenly violating other ethical considerations required in professional and excellent journalism.

It further clarified that there was no altercation between its CEO and any military personnel in Epe but the Naval officers was infiltrated by Hire Assassin  who went inside his estate to assassinate him while also adding that Dr. Mosadoluwa was never shot at Naval Authority instruction but hire assailant nor his security aides attacked or detained.

The management maintained that the story should be dismissed in its entirety for lack of merit and truth. 

Although the management admitted that some armed naval officers forcefully gained access to their Estate while some assailants also attempted to assassinate the CEO alongside some customers on the said day. 

Narrating the ordeal further, the management decried the inter-agency rivalry that ensued between the mobile police officers and the naval personnel whereby vehicles were shot at within the premises and some of the armed mobile policemen on guard were also disarmed by the military personnel in flagrant abuse of power.. 

However, the intervention of Dr. Audullahi Saheed Mosadoluwa according to the management brought calm and normalcy embarrassing situation, adding that police and Naval authorities are now on top of the matter to ascertain truth

BEN-GURION, UNILAG STUDENTS VISIT LAWMA … Explore Waste Management Strategies

 Eniola Ajose 

The Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), Tuesday, hosted students and faculty members from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel, and the University of Lagos (UNILAG), as part of their study tour on urban challenges and environmental sustainability.

The delegation, led by Prof. Lynn Schler, Head of the African Studies Department at Ben-Gurion University, Israel, was welcomed by the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer of LAWMA, Dr. Muyiwa Gbadegesin, who provided an overview of LAWMA’s role in ensuring cleanliness across Lagos and its efforts to promote environmental sustainability.

He stated that LAWMA, established in 1977, emerged from the need to address the state's waste crisis experienced earlier, adding that the agency’s operations aligned with the THEMES+ agenda of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s administration, with emphasis on health and environment.


Gbadegesin identified climate change as a major challenge, contributing to the influx of migrants to the state, many of whom take up scavenging as a means of survival, noting that LAWMA was working on properly integrating them into the waste management system in the state, through the 'Last Man Collector' initiative.

"We have approximately 3,000 scavengers at the Olusosun dumpsite alone. So far, we have enumerated about 5,000 of them, and our goal is to transition them to be better structured in the waste collection roles," he explained.

He further disclosed LAWMA’s plan to establish an upcycling center in Otto, one of the state’s oldest communities, with the aim of training young people in upcycling and other sustainable waste management practices, shifting from simply cleaning the state to implementing sustainable solutions that prevent waste from reaching public spaces.

Prof. Schler commended LAWMA’s waste management and environmental sustainabilty initiatives, applauding the Authority’s leadership and forward thinking strategies.

"If this were the only activity on our study tour, it would have been entirely worthwhile. The leadership and forward-thinking strategies at LAWMA are truly inspiring", she said.

Shira Lahav, a student of Ben-Gurion University, expressed her excitement about the program, emphasising the importance of international collaboration. "This experience exceeded my expectations. Learning about Lagos and its waste management system has been incredibly insightful," she said.

A history and strategic studies student from UNILAG, Femi Anjola Elizabeth, who joined the Israeli students on the tour, admitted that she knew little about how waste collection worked in Lagos before the visit.  She said, "I have seen PSP operators in my area, but today, I have gained a much deeper appreciation of the system."

The event also featured a question-and-answer session, where the students and faculty members engaged with the LAWMA boss on critical issues bordering on LAWMA’s operations, providing valuable insights into the challenges and solutions shaping waste management in one of Africa’s most populous cities.
