A Nigerian state is advocating for a temporary ban on the export of lead ingots. Officials from Ogun State made the call after inspecting the Ogijo community.
The inspection responded to a widely shared video. The video alleges that lead poisoning is affecting the local environment in Ogijo, which is part of the Sagamu Local Government Area. Authorities are now pushing for the export ban while they investigate these claims.
