Ban Scrap Scavengers and the Use of Motor Cycles within Uyo Metropolis

GOVERNMENT OF AKWA IBOM STATE BAN ON SCRAP SCAVENGERS IN AKWA IBOM STATE AND ENFORCEMENT OF EXISTING BAN ON THE USE OF MOTORCYCLES WITHIN UYO METROPOLIS

1. BAN ON SCRAP SCAVENGERS 
The Government of Akwa Ibom State has, with immediate effect, banned the activities of scrap scavengers in the State. This follows several incidents of grave infractions including acts of criminality and threat to the peaceful inter-ethnic relationships in the state by operators of this enterprise. The action of the Government is also in consonance with public sentiments amidst popular complaints against the activities of these scavengers who wantonly violate people's properties, stealing and assaulting law-abiding citizens in the process.

Recall that sometime in 2021, multiple explosions, causing fatalities,  were recorded in Oruk Anam Local Government Area in the course of scavengers sorting out what turned out to be military-brand explosives. About four lives were lost in this incident. Similarly, on 2nd Jan 2022 scavengers violated the premises of a citizen in Afaha Oku, Uyo Local Government Area in an attempt to cart away properties. While attempting to prevent the scavengers, the citizen was callously murdered in cold blood while mob action was visited on the scavenger assailants causing the death of the two scavengers. Sundays appear to be the busiest day for these scavengers who take advantage of mass Church attendance to invade homes and cart away valuables leaving hapless citizens with tales of woe upon their return from Church. Akwa Ibom State Government Project Tour with Brekete Family Radio Crew

As a responsible Government, we can no longer tolerate the activities of this industry which evidently is in no way adding value to the socio-economic well-being of the state but rather escalating tensions and threatening the overall peace and security of the State. Accordingly, the operations of scrap scavengers in the State are banned forthwith. Violators of this ban will be apprehended and dealt with according to the law.

2. BAN ON MOTORCYCLE OPERATION WITHIN UYO METROPOLIS AND ENVIRONS
The government has observed with dismay and serious concern the flagrant defiance of the ban on Motor Cycle operations within the Uyo metropolis and environs. This banning order is hereby reiterated with a warning that defaulters stand to lose not only their Motor Cycles if apprehended, but also risk being prosecuted and possibly sentenced.

Security Agencies and the general public are therefore put on notice. An enforcement structure has been put in place to effect these directives to the letter.

The General public should rest assured that the Government of Akwa Ibom State will leave no stone unturned in ensuring the safety of lives and properties as well as the peace and security of the state.

Signed
Dr. Emmanuel Ekuwem 
Secretary to State Government
Akwa Ibom State
