EKET CHAIRMAN ENFORCES CLAMPDOWN ON SCRAP METAL SCAVENGERS

...Demolish hideouts

To further enforce the State Government's directive on the ban on scrap metal scavengers popularly known as "Iron Condemned", the Eket Council Chairman, Mr. Akaniyene Tommey on Tuesday, April 5, 2022, led a combined team of security agencies to supervise the demolition of the scavengers hideout along Marina road Eket.

According to the Council Chairman, the enforcement became necessary due to the harassment and nuisance posed by the activities of the scrap metal dealers which recently led to the loss of life of an Eket son which the case has been handed over to the police for further investigation and prosecution of the apprehended suspect.

Speaking further, the Council Boss declared that it is paramount that the activities be curtailed to save the Local Government and its environs from immediate danger and also ensure a safe and healthy environment for everyone.

[/b]The demolition exercise also witnessed recovery of some dangerous weapons from the temporary resident of the scavengers.[b]

It will be recalled that the Council Chairman of Eket through a press release signed by the Council Secretary, Hon. Uso Hanson announced a re-enforcement of the ban earlier placed on the scrap metal dealers by the State Government.

Reacting to the development in the Local Government, residents of Marina road and the adjoining streets commended the Chairman for clamping down on the activities of these scavengers in the area as they posed a security threat as a result of their heinous activities.

On hand to witness the exercise were members of the Local Government Executive Council led by the Dean College of Supervisors Hon. Imoh Ebitu who is the Supervisor for Works, the Supervisor for Education, Hon. Ama Michael Ukpong, the Supervisor for Health, Mrs. Ini Ideh, the Special Adviser on Environment, Mrs. Stella Akpan, the Special Adviser on Political Matters, Hon. Edwin Sampson and the National Youth Council President Eket, Hon. Joseph Charles and the Arewa Youth Leader of Eket, Alhaji Ibrahim Iliya.

Is it not better if we just call it A squatter or ghetto rather than calling it "Hausa quater".

it's not fair ooh.......Subs.
it's sad.

Bloggers and provocative captions. See as the poster uses Hausa Quarters in the caption.

They destroyed shanties, not hausa quarters for goodness sakes, such is misleading from the true essence of the exercise

If these people know how peaceful Akwa people are and how violent they can also be in a flip of a second depending on the seriousness of a problem, they will caution themselves. Ibom people are like two sides of a coin.

That’s the only condition for them

See as police belly big.... So big

Okay

Good development, cos most of these condemn metal people just like their herdsmen, and okada riders brothers are out to steal, kill and destroy.

Ok

But I thought everyone in igbo land is a billionaires developing other states?

Why should they hawk Okpa and gala, mineral?

FERNANDEZISBACK:

They might not be financially buoyant tho..

Then they should relocate to their villages and live a modest life. Everyone must not be in the cities.

Nigerian cities are busy with nothing to show for it while villages are calm and peaceful with less people.

Will they now ensure that people don't come and set up unsanctioned business here in future?

All these state governments love to demolish but they never want to enforce any rules so as to stop such places becoming the large cesspools that the eventually become.

Everything about the leadership in this state is topnotch.
If Nigeria is being governed like AKS, Nigeria will be looking like Singapore.

Alright
