The government of Anambra State has declared an immediate stop to the “iron condemn”—a term used to describe the actions of scavengers who go around purchasing iron scraps.

This decision comes in response to the scavengers’ well-known actions, which have grown to be a serious annoyance to the public. These actions include stealing metal items from private residences and public utilities and damaging vital infrastructure.

The scavengers’ activities have hurt the state’s economy and the nation as a whole, according to a statement made by Paul Nwosu, Commissioner for Information.

The government has issued a warning, stating that anyone seen doing deal with these scavengers will be taken into custody and charged with receiving stolen property.

The Ministry of Environment will register and certify the latter in order to differentiate them from unlawful condemned iron scavengers and to enable them to carry on with their business without interference.

The job of implementing the ban and capturing any condemned iron scavengers discovered operating within the state has been assigned to the OCHA and SASA brigades.

For swift action, the public is asked to report any scavenging activity to the authorities.

This action is regarded as a critical step in preserving the state’s law and order as well as safeguarding both public and private property against theft and damage.
