The Abia State Government on Saturday arrested a 109-year-old bean cake (akara) seller, Chidinma Eluwa, for allegedly violating the state’s monthly environmental sanitation exercise
Eluwa was arrested for frying bean cakes during the sanitation period on Owerri Road and was later arraigned before the Sanitation Court alongside 65 other alleged offenders.
The aged woman was, however, discharged by Magistrate O. C. Ibekwe on compassionate grounds.
She thereafter pledged to comply with the state’s sanitation order.
Of the 66 alleged offenders arraigned, seven were discharged on health and student-related grounds, while nine were sentenced to community service.
Meanwhile, the state government has warned that it may resort to stricter enforcement of the monthly sanitation exercise following low compliance by residents.
