JUST IN: Govt seals off Shoprite, another popular market [Here’s why]

The Ondo State Government has sealed off Shoprite Supermarket and a neighborhood market in Akure, Ondo State.

The popular facilities were sealed on Monday by the Ondo State Waste Management Authority (ODSWMA) over what it described “unhygienic practices”.

The reason for the government’s action is believed to be due to flouting of environmental laws of Ondo state.

The General Manager of the Authority Mrs Ayo Adeyemo, who disclosed this, said the owners of the affected facilities violated environmental laws and failed to comply with the laid down hygienic practices.

Adeyemo, who maintained that further sanctions would be taken, warned that anyone found culpable will not be spared.
