The MCE for Yendi, Hon. Sugri Muniru, has launched a massive operation to clear heaps of rubbish illegally dumped in forests across the Yendi Municipality.
This action follows persistent complaints from concerned residents about unknown individuals dumping refuse in protected forest areas instead of using the Zoomlion containers provided within town.
During his visit to one of the clearing sites today, one person was arrested on the spot for illegally dumping refuse. The suspect is currently in police custody.
Hon. Sugri Muniru issued a strong warning to those engaged in this act, stressing that anyone caught polluting the environment will face strict legal consequences, including possible jail time.
This initiative is part of efforts to protect Yendi’s forests, promote public health, and ensure a cleaner, greener municipality.
