Asaba Mobile Court Convicts 16 for Environmental Violations
ASABA, Nigeria — The Mobile Court of the Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency (DSCTDA) has convicted 16 individuals for violating environmental sanitation laws in Asaba Capital Territory. The prosecutions are part of an ongoing effort to uphold environmental sustainability in the region.
Mr. Isaac Nwosu, the Head of Environment at DSCTDA, spearheaded the enforcement action against those found in breach of environmental regulations. During the latest court session, the cases of four defendants were dismissed, while bench warrants were issued for 12 individuals who failed to appear in court.
One significant case involved Chuzz4 Apartment and Suites, which was accused of improperly discharging wastewater into public drainage systems. This action poses a potential threat to public health and sanitation.
Director-General of DSCTDA, Mr. Patrick Ukah, emphasized the agency’s dedication to enforcing environmental laws. He cautioned that both individuals and organizations that disregard these regulations, particularly regarding wastewater and waste disposal, will face legal action.
Ukah urged residents, business owners, and property managers to adhere to environmental standards, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to maintaining a clean and orderly capital territory.
