Osun State Waste Management Agency,
OWMA, has ordered the owners of the five goats arrested by the agency in
Dele-Yesa area of Osogbo, last Tuesday, to pay a sum of N10,000 each for fine
to the coffers of the state government.
Director of Environ- mental
Management and Sanitation in the agency, Mr. Henry Ogunbanwo, said any of the
owners of the goats, who failed to pay the fine within seven days would lose
their animals. Ogunbanwo noted that the agency was acting in accordance with
the provisions of the article 101 of the 2002 laws of Osun State which
prohibits rearing of animals in residential areas, stressing that the agency
had the backing of the court.
The director explained that a court
of competent jurisdiction had empow- ered the agency to arrest any animal
roaming around residential areas within the state.
