Speaking in an interview, the Assistant Corps Liaison Officer, Enugu South, Sodeeq Abdurasaq called for full participation by enugu residents as part of their civic responsibility and stressed the need for the state waste management agency to provide the necessary equipment for effective waste disposal.
a resident celestine agenyi who participated in the exercise called on others to use the monthly exercise as part of their contribution to the state government effort at creating a safe environment.

The Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, ESWAMA, Mrs Amaka Anajemba - Hold on, hold on - is this not that 419 woman who had her husband killed when she found out he was to remarry due her not producing any male heir

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A court in Nigeria has sentenced a woman to two and a half years in prison for her part in the country's biggest ever international fraud case.
Amaka Anajemba admitted helping her late husband to persuade an employee of a Brazilian bank to transfer millions of dollars into overseas accounts.

Banco Noroeste lost $242m through the latter half of the 1990s.

The court ordered Anajemba to surrender her houses in Nigeria, the US, UK and Switzerland to help repay the money.

Massive investigation

Anajemba is one of three suspects - the trial of the two other defendants has been adjourned until September.

She was convicted of convincing a senior official at Banco Noroeste, based in Sao Paulo, to siphon off the hundreds of millions of dollars in exchange for a promised $13m kickback on a fictitious contract for an airport in the Nigerian capital, Abuja.

The prosecution case was built up after an international investigation involving the authorities of more than a dozen countries.

The fraud was discovered in 1998 when Banco Noroeste was bought by a Spanish bank.

The Brazilian bank official, the company's head of international operations, was arrested three years ago during a trip to the US and extradited to Switzerland, where he was jailed for more than a year.

Widespread corruption

Most of the funds have since been recovered.

The judgement has been greeted enthusiastically by Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission which described it as a landmark achievement.

The BBC's Anna Borzello in Nigeria's commercial capital Lagos says that the country is notorious for its advance fee frauds.

Known as four-one-nines after the Nigerian criminal code prohibiting such practices, greedy or gullible investors are invited to hand over money or bank account details on the promise of large future payments, which never arrive.

In its most common form unsolicited e-mails offer the recipient a share of the wealth of dead African dictators.

.

and only God knows how much I hate this

What in the actual Fhuck?


But hey, the Law is the Law..

What I am not sure of is if the ESWAMA people have the right to arrest offenders.

How do u expect they handle humans who behave like animals

As in eeh! No jokes o

Lawlessness understands only one language. Force

Now you Igbos know the ZOO is in the EAST

They should bail themselves out.

At least, someone is posting something on environmental sanitation in other states.


The way Nairaland carry LAWMA news, one would assume Lagos state is the only Nigerian state with a Ministry of Environment. Good to know beyond Lagos, we have other 35 states.

Why disobeying the govt? Fine them sharply
Govt must make money from stubborn citizens

Very insightful post

Cage?, WTF, this method is quite uncivil.

This is change in the right direction.

170 people in one day

These people are indeed lawless

Tinubu is turning our state into an APC state - Igbos

Only in Nigeria can a convicted criminal get a high government position. As someone mentioned in an earlier post, this lady Amaka Anajembamba is famous for all the wrong reasons. She even ran when the authorities held her three kids, yet she wants to instill discipline. Anyway, the day I was told Abacha was not corrupt was the day I realized that [b]ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IN NIGERIA

I see dirty flat.head monkeys in a cage.

If this was lagos we would be hearing another victimisation propaganda
