Tuesday, March, 17 2026 - Determined to ensure that Asaba Capital Territory remains environmentally sustainable, the Mobile Court of the Delta State Capital Territory Development Agency, DSCTDA, has convicted 16 environmental offenders for violating environmental sanitation laws within the capital territory.
The offenders were prosecuted by the Head of Environment of
DSCTDA, Mr. Isaac Nwosu, who led the enforcement action against individuals and
establishments found to be in breach of environmental laws within the capital
territory.
The court session also discharged four defendants after
reviewing their cases, while bench warrants were issued for 12 offenders who
failed to appear in court to answer the charges filed against them.

materials, will continue to face prosecution.
He further called on residents, business owners, and
property managers to comply with environmental laws, stressing that the agency
will sustain its enforcement drive to ensure that the capital territory remains
orderly and environmentally sustainable.
