The Oyo State Rule of Law Enforcement Authority (OYRLEA) has reaffirmed its commitment to law enforcement with swift interventions on open grazing and environmental pollution yesterday, Wednesday, 6 August 2026
Acting on a distress call received early in the day, OYRLEA’s enforcement team mobilised to Kudeti Avenue, Agbarigo Junction. Two cows were found grazing openly on the road and obstructing traffic. In line with the Oyo State Anti-Open Rearing and Grazing Law, 2019, the cows were promptly impounded, restoring order and ensuring the safety of road users.
Following the operation, the team proceeded to Morubo-Ope Community, Apete, Ibadan, to investigate a petition on excessive noise pollution allegedly emanating from a block moulding industry.
The inspection was conducted jointly with the Pollution Monitoring and Control Department of the Oyo State Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. Assessment confirmed that the noise level from the facility was excessive and constituted a nuisance to residents.
Consequently, the owner was advised to either relocate the business to a more suitable location or install effective noise reduction measures to prevent further disturbance to the community.
OYRLEA reiterated its resolve to protect public health, uphold environmental standards, and enforce the laws of Oyo State. The Authority also urged residents to continue reporting traffic and environmental violations for prompt intervention.
E-Signed:
The Chairperson
Honourable Justice Aderonke A. Aderemi (Rtd.)
