Buge, who led the task force said that, “the offenders were apprehended and charged to 17 mobile courts that were strategically positioned across Ilorin metropolis.”

“The good aspect of it is that none of the offenders can feign ignorance of last Saturday sanitation exercise, as enough sensitisation was carried out, by the ministry on radio, newspapers and online. It is obvious they willfully flouted the laws and so, made to face the full wrath of law, to serve as a deterrent to others,” she added.

On the extension of time of the sanitation exercise from two hours to three hours, Buge said, “It is in line with the state Environmental Sanitation Law of Section 29 (2) CAP E4 of 2006 which stipulates that the hours of sanitation is from 7am – 10am.”
