Insecurity: Delta LG bans scavenging
Ika south local government area of Delta State has banned the activities of scrap and metal scavengers, popularly known as ‘Iron Condemn’.

He said the suspension was due to the illegal and criminal activities attributed to some of the scavengers.
Following the suspension, the local government warned that anybody found engaging in scavenging within the local government area would be arrested by law enforcement agents for prosecution.
The move by the local government followed an observed surge in the incidence of illegal and criminal activities traceable to some of those involved in scavenging activities.

The Timi of Ede land, Oba Munirudeen Adesola Lawal has warned landlords and house owners in Ede town against harbouring suspected cultists.
Oba Lawal also asked the landlords, especially those harbouring students, to report any of them suspected to be engaging in secret cult activities.
The traditional ruler issued the warning during a meeting with the Governing Council of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Osun State, who visited him in his palace on Wednesday.
The meeting was called to seek ways in improving the security around the campus of the institution.
The monarch said, “Some of these students are living in our community. If you are a member of a cult group and you take an accommodation and we get to know your involvement, we will call the landlord to eject such students if they refuse to denounce cultism.
“We will invite all the landlords here. If you suspect any student that takes accommodation of being a member of a cult group, we will call such a student and counsel him or her. If he or she fails to yield to our advice, then we send him or her out of that building.”
Speaking earlier, the Governing Council led by its Chairman, Prof Taiwo Olaiya said house owners in the community would be invited and briefed on their roles in the security measures that would be applied henceforth.
Olaiya also revealed that the security situation on campus had improved significantly.
He called on the polytechnic host community to collaborate with the management to further secure the lives and properties of both the students and members of staff.
