The Oyo State Rule of Law Enforcement Authority, on Wednesday, impounded three rams and a cow in the Oluyole area of Ibadan, the state capital.\n<\/p>\n
The OYRLEA Chairperson, Justice Aderonke Aderemi (retd.), announced this when she led an enforcement team to the area.\n<\/p>\n
Aderemi, who was accompanied by the state\n<\/p>\n
Chairman of Environmental Task Force, DCP Francis Ojomo (retd.), explained that the action became imperative following some petitions received from residents of Unique Estate, Oluyole, Ibadan.<\/p>\n
She also issued a seven-day ultimatum to the residents of Abidiodan, in the Lagelu Local Government Area, to evacuate shanties on road setbacks, which have become hideouts for criminals and illegal activities.\n<\/p>\n
The chairperson reiterated the agency\u2019s commitment to enforcing environmental and sanitation laws, as well as anti-open rearing and grazing regulations and other related laws in the state.\n<\/p>\n
Aderemi said, \u201cWe are giving the owner of the rams and cow a seven-day ultimatum to claim them to avoid forfeiture, in lieu of a fine option.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso, we are giving residents of Abidiodan, at the Lagelu Local Government Area, Ibadan, a seven-day ultimatum to evacuate shanties on road setbacks, which have become hideouts for criminals and illegal activities.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cEnforcement against street trading, anti-open rearing\/grazing regulations and other related laws in the state has just begun,\u201d she declared.\n<\/p>\n
She further stressed the state government\u2019s readiness and swift response to tackle and sort out every related offence, thus prosecuting violators of the extant laws.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cYou will recall that extensive sensitisation and campaign efforts against street trading began with a flag-off at the Bodija Market earlier in January, and such has been a continuum till date.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe OYRLEA is now taking enforcement action to ensure compliance,\u201d she insisted.\n<\/p>\n
The team was also joined by the Operation Burst, Environmental Task Force, officers from the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Amotekun among others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Oyo State Rule of Law Enforcement Authority, on Wednesday, impounded three rams and a cow in the…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":125429,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[746,159,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-125428","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-environment","8":"tag-environment","9":"tag-science","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114985634795337894","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=125428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/125428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/125429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=125428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=125428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=125428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
