He therefore warned Ilorin residents to desist from dumping refuse indiscriminately or face the full wrath of the law.

The Commissioner seized the opportunity to call on individuals and corporate organisations to join hands with the present administration in its bid to eradicate indiscriminate dumping of refuse with the aim of sustaining a clean and hygienic environment in the state.

Illegal dump sites already evacuated were those at the Admiralty Villa, Sakele and Airport road.
