Intersociety raises alarm over Anambra gully erosion
Intersociety called on the state government to uphold the community’s resolution to shut down and discontinue what it described as environmentally dangerous sand excavation activities at the site.
According to him, recent findings by the group indicated that private individuals had, over the years, carried out indiscriminate and unregulated sand excavation at the site, allegedly with the involvement of youth groups and persons linked to government.
Intersociety also alleged that the sand excavation activities had been carried out by a cartel of private individuals allegedly working with some government appointees, adding that it had found no official inventories indicating that proceeds from the activities accrued to past or present Anambra State governments.
