Governor of Abia State, Alex Otti.
The Abia State Government on Saturday arrested a 109-year-old bean cake (akara) seller, Chidinma Eluwa, for allegedly violating the state’s monthly environmental sanitation exercise.
Eluwa was arrested for frying bean cakes during the sanitation period on Owerri Road and was later arraigned before the Sanitation Court alongside 65 other alleged offenders.
The aged woman was, however, discharged by Magistrate O. C. Ibekwe on compassionate grounds.
She thereafter pledged to comply with the state’s sanitation order.
