7 Alleged Illegal Miners Nabbed in Major Operation

In a bold move to preserve its natural beauty, Anambra State takes a stand against illegal sand mining, with the arrest and public display of seven perpetrators. The state’s Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra (OCHA) Brigade, led by Managing Director Celestine Anere, has zero tolerance for environmental degradation.
Caught red-handed excavating sands without authorization, these individuals are now facing the consequences of their actions. Anere issues a stern warning to tipper drivers: ignorance is not an excuse! With all unapproved mining sites sealed and demand notices served, the state demands compliance or else face the full force of the law. It’s a clear message: Anambra is serious about protecting its natural resources.
