No fewer than seventy environmental sanitation defaulters were on Saturday, arrested and charged at the Sanitation Court in Umuahia, Abia State during the August edition of the monthly environmental exercise.
The clean-up exercise which recorded a high level of compliance in most parts of the Abia State capital, also saw some residents violating extant environmental laws, leading to their arrest by task force teams. Meanwhile, the Abia State government has vowed to establish mobile sanitation courts in markets and other important areas in the state to enforce compliance with the sanitation exercise.
Asonye who was responding to the complaints by the Orie-Ugba Market Coordinator of the Abia State War Against Indiscipline, , Okwum Victor, said the Court when established, would be charged with the prosecution of sanitation defaulters in various markets and other places in the state. He expressed dismay that some youths were still seen in Umuahia streets playing football during environmental protection hours and urged traders in the State to clean up their areas.
