…Says there’s no end to arrest of environmental violators

By Joyce Remi-Babayeju

The Federal Capital Territory Administration ( FCTA) has impounded and arrested 24 vehicle owners and 7 motorcycle operators for defaulting various offenses in different motor parks in Abuja over the weekend.

This is as the Administration said there is no end to arresting of violators of extant rules and regulations in Abuja motor parks.

Head of Operations, FCTA  Directorate of Road Traffic Services ( DRTS), Deborah Osho, who led a combined team of task force officers on enforcement operations, said all relevant agencies have resolved to strengthen attacks against all forms of nuisance in the city.

Osho disclosed that since taxi and other vehicle operators have refused to comply with rules, enforcement team, will also not relent in haunting and prosecuting them.

” Today’s operation is all about the cleanup of the city. As you can see, this is the popular Garki Market which we have just cleared off nuisances, ranging t illegal car parks . This operation commenced from Area 1, 3, Apo Bridge, and now we have extended it to Garki market areas. We want to ensure that there is free flow of traffic. 

” The owners of the vehicles we have impounded for various offenses will face a mobile court. The vehicles that are not roadworthy, will have to be fixed. The judges at the Mobile Court will also determine their fine. We have impounded about 24 vehicles, and 7 bikes.

Speaking on the environmental component of the operations, Deputy Director, Monitoring and Enforcement, Abuja Environmental Protection Board ( AEPB), Kaka Bello said the areas raided were places where human activities have continued to constitute nuisances. 

Bello noted that the intensified fight by the city enforcers against defaulters, was to ensure that a Abuja remain a city of pride.

He stated that environmental sanitation exercise was required daily, noting that a little slack would be counterproductive.

” We are committed to removal of all sorts of nuisance from the city, especially those that have a negative impact on the environment. The environmental cleaning has to be done daily”, Bello said.
