The Special Committee on the Clean Up of IKoyi and VIctoria Island on Sunday said that it has impounded 215 vehicles and arrested and prosecuted 98 persons for various sundry environmental offenses since the commencement of the exercise on January 10.
This was disclosed in a release signed by the State Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr Tunji Bello who also chairs the committee, in a press release on Sunday.
The commissioner explained that those arrested were arraigned before mobile courts which sat at the Safety Arena Mobile court In Oshodi and another mobile court which sat in Victoria Island during one of the several raids and handed out sentences which included fines.
He warned those managing liaison offices and other types of buildings, some of which have been abandoned, against serving as hiding places for okada riders and street traders, many of whom usually seek refuge in them when raids are carried out.
