ASABA — The Asagba of Asaba, HRM Prof. Epiphany Azinge, has warned that the Palace may be compelled to take over the management of the Koka Flyover if relevant government agencies fail to address the growing abuse of the facility.
The monarch gave the warning after inspecting the underside of the flyover, days after a Vanguard report exposed how the facility had been turned into a shelter for young men who sleep and idle there regularly.
During the visit, the Asagba found several persons occupying the space beneath the flyover, with the area littered with refuse and emitting offensive odours.
The inspection was part of his monitoring of the monthly environmental sanitation exercise in Asaba, where he expressed concern over poor sanitation practices and institutional failures contributing to environmental challenges in the city.
