a halt-work order to a dredging business whose operations in the state’s Epe area are suspected of killing certain fish.
According to the administration, the stop-work order was issued to reduce tension and provide time for an appropriate inquiry.
The instruction is effective immediately, according to a statement released on Thursday by Abiola Olowu, the governor’s special adviser on mineral resources.
Fish farmers were shown in a widely circulated viral video complaining about a huge loss of income from the purported deaths of many of their Tilapia fish due to dredging operations near the fish farm.
