Edo State government has commenced full enforcement of Project Clean-up Edo after a week-long sensitization and awareness campaign to various markets and trading centres.
The enforcement geared towards maintaining clean environment in the state, saw offenders brought before mobile courts, stationed at Oba Akenzua Cultural Centre and Edo Development Property Authority.
Offenders are charged under section 10, sub-section C of Edo State sanitation and Pollution Management Law No 5, 2010 and section 203 of the Criminal Code.
The lawbreakers bagged three months imprisonment or an option of fine of N5, 000, N10, 000, and N20, 000 depending on the gravity.
It would be recalled that the state government had warned that anyone found wanting would be sanctioned.
