The Alake of Egbaland, Oba Adedotun Gbadebo, has urged residents of the state to desist from dumping refuse in drainages and water channels to avoid flooding. The monarch hinted that dumping of refuse in water channels and drainages would cause flooding which is inimical to lives and properties. “When we have our drainages blocked, this will lead to flooding which can cause havoc and affect lives and properties. “We see people dumping refuse in the gutters. Refuse should be deposited in a particular place for the refuse collectors to pick them up for proper disposal”, he said.
