Bauchi Mobile Court Convicts Four for Environmental Violations
A mobile court at the Bauchi State Environmental Protection Agency (BASEPA) convicted four individuals for violating sanitation and environmental laws. The presiding magistrate, Laraba Hamisu, sentenced Musa Bashir from Magaji Quarters to 10 days of community service, supervised by the Nigerian Correctional Service and BASEPA, for failing to participate in the state's monthly environmental sanitation exercise.
Malam Bello Hassan from Kur was convicted for blocking waterways. Additionally, Sarajo Yusuf, Shu’aibu Abubakar, and Adamu Musa, all residents of Zango, were found guilty of obstructing their neighbor's wastewater channel through illegal construction on a setback.
The court showed leniency towards the convicts after they pleaded for consideration.
