Operation Clean and Healthy Anambra, OCHA Brigade, has carried out an enforcement at Mgbuka Obosi where several shanties and illegal structures were pulled down for being located directly under high-tension electricity lines.
The operation was aimed at discouraging residents, traders and developers from continuing the dangerous and unlawful practice of building or operating businesses within restricted power line corridors.
The Managing Director of OCHA Brigade, Comrade Celestine Anere, said the exercise was part of the agency’s responsibility to protect lives and public infrastructure, stressing that structures under high-tension lines pose serious safety risks to occupants and the general public.
He warned that anyone who defies government directives by erecting buildings or trading in such prohibited areas would be treated as a lawbreaker and made to face the full weight of the law.
