Ejigbo Taskforce Cracks Down on Illegal Waste Dumpers, Arrests Offenders
The Environmental Taskforce of Ejigbo Local Council Development Area (LCDA) has taken decisive action against residents engaged in illegal waste dumping in the area.
The taskforce arrested individuals dumping waste around Jakande Estate Gate, Oke Afa, and Idimu Road, Ejigbo.
Aare Taoheed Adebayo Taiwo (TAT), Executive Chairman of Ejigbo LCDA, condemned the act as a threat to public health and a sabotage of the administration's sanitation drive.
He warned that environmental laws will be strictly enforced to maintain a clean and healthy environment.
First-time offenders were fined and directed to undertake two weeks of community service.
They were also compelled to sign undertakings never to reoffend.
Repeat offenders will face prosecution and heavier penalties.
TAT emphasized that sanitation in Ejigbo will not be compromised, stating, "Our people deserve a clean, healthy environment, and this administration will ensure it at all costs."
