Flood Warning: Imo Council Boss Warns Residents Against Dumping Refuse in Drainages

Flood Warning: Imo Council Boss Warns Residents Against Dumping Refuse in Drainages

By CAVIMAGES Media 







As forecasts predict heavy rainfall and possible flooding this year, Chairman of Orlu Local Government Area, Pastor Chris Mbarie, has warned residents against indiscriminate dumping of refuse, particularly inside drainage channels.


According to him, blocked drainages significantly increase flood risks and could endanger lives and property.


He warned that anyone caught violating environmental sanitation regulations would face government sanctions.


The chairman also advised parents to keep a close watch on their children during the rainy season and discourage unnecessary movement whenever it rains.


Do you think Nigerians take environmental sanitation seriously enough, or is poor waste disposal one of the biggest causes of flooding?

Inside the High Court Injunction That Halted Ezuruezu Mbaise & Vindicated Ndi Ezeji By CAVIMAGES Media  *** ​The drums of the New Yam Festival are meant to beat to a rhythm of thanksgiving, unity, and sacred covenant.

Clashes Over Security & Stool: Umuihuocha Eze-Elect Blows Hot Over "Parallel" Vigilante Move By Cecilia Anyanwu  *** AHIAZU MBAISE, IMO STATE — A major leadership and security row is brewing in Umuihuocha Obohia Autonomous Community, following a scathing public clarification issued by the Community’s Eze-Elect, Nze Greatman Eze-Ndi-Eze Ugwuadi. The royal father-to-be has raised the alarm over what he describes as an attempt by certain factions to create a "parallel security structure" capable of plunging the Community into chaos and division. The controversy stems from a letter dated June 2, 2026, titled "Need to Harmonize the Umuihuocha Security Vigilante Network for Effective Operations and Supervision," which was circulated to select stakeholders by members of the Umuihuocha Security Committee.
