The Ogun State Waste Management Authority, OGWAMA, has arrested and prosecuted 108 residents in Abeokuta for the indiscriminate dumping of waste products.
The offenders were apprehended while dumping refuse on roadsides, public places and on medians, in different parts of the state capital.
Recall that DAILY POST had reported the piles of trash sitting on major roads and blocking the gutters.
However, the OGWAMA enforcement team arrested the offenders while they were dumping the refuse, an offence against the state’s waste management law.
Speaking on the arrest on Wednesday, the Special Adviser to the Governor on OGWAMA, Farook Akintunde, said the waste offenders have been prosecuted in different customary courts in the state capital and fined to serve as a deterrent to others.
He lamented that despite government efforts at picking up waste from residents’ doorsteps, they are still in the habit of dumping waste in inappropriate places, thereby defacing the aesthetic beauty of the environment and the state capital.
Akintunde said, “Its just unfortunate that we have to go this route to stop some of our people from dumping waste indiscriminately on roadsides and in public places. We have sensitized, appealed and even encouraged them to handover their waste to Waste PSP assigned to their areas for proper waste disposal but to no avail.
“We are determined to continue this exercise until they see the need to stop dumping waste indiscriminately, especially now that the state is wearing a new look in terms of proper waste management.
“Aside from this, dumping waste indiscriminately is not safe, as it can lead to flooding and contaminate ground water during this rainy season, which the state government will not allow” Akintunde warned.
He insisted that the state government through OGWAMA, will not fold its hands and allow a few individuals deface the environment through unlawful environmental practices.
Akintunde urged those still in such habit to stop or get prepared to face the law.

Nigerian youths and civil society organizations on Wednesday stormed the Abuja office of former President Goodluck Jonathan, urging him to contest in the 2027 presidential election.
The large crowd took over parts of the capital, chanting slogans and displaying placards calling on the ex-president to return to power. Some of the messages read, “GEJ: Nigeria is dying, save it!” and “GEJ, Nigerian youths break the medicine wey dem do you.”
Another placard warned, “GEJ, if you don’t run, we quench.”
Speaking during the protest, public analyst and former Kogi State Commissioner for Information, Tom Ohikere, said the group had waited for over three hours in hopes of meeting Jonathan, who did not appear.
“Everywhere that we have visited in the course of our nationwide consultation over a period of six months, the clamor for his return to power to rescue our country has been loud and unmistakable,” he said.
As of the time of filing this report, Jonathan has yet to issue an official response to the calls.
Wednesday’s demonstration adds to growing pressure from groups within Nigeria and the diaspora urging the former president to join the 2027 race.
The development comes amid a leadership crisis rocking the African Democratic Congress, ADC. The opposition party members and supporters had also protested at the office of the Independent National Electoral Commission, demanding the reversal of the delisting of the David Mark-led leadership.
The renewed political activity highlights rising momentum ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The Taraba State House of Assembly on Wednesday passed the Taraba State Judiciary Fund Management Bill, 2026, through second reading during plenary, marking a significant step towards strengthening judicial autonomy in the state.
The bill, sponsored by the Speaker, John Kizito Bonzena, alongside Abel Peter Diah, was introduced following a motion moved by the Deputy Majority Leader, Nuhu Akila Rantiyo.
Leading debate on the floor of the House, Rantiyo described the proposed legislation as vital for enhancing the operational efficiency, independence, and accountability of the judiciary.
He noted that the bill seeks to establish a transparent framework for managing judicial finances by transitioning control from the executive arm to a fully autonomous system for the courts.
Lawmakers who contributed to the debate, including John Lamba, Tanko Abubakar Yusuf, and Tafarki Agbadu Eneme, emphasised the importance of the bill in addressing existing gaps in judicial financial control. They commended its sponsors and expressed strong support for its swift passage.
Following deliberations, the House unanimously adopted the motion for the bill’s second reading, after which the clerk, Amos Salmuna Sani, read the long title of the bill.
The Speaker subsequently referred the bill to the House Committee on Finance, Appropriation, and Economic Planning for further legislative scrutiny, including a public hearing, with a mandate to report back to the House.
In a separate development, the Assembly also screened and confirmed two commissioner nominees submitted by the state governor, Agbu Kefas.
Following their confirmation, the Speaker directed the Clerk to formally communicate the House’s resolution to the executive arm of government.
