Billboards of politicians in Sokoto State illegally erected have been demolished by the Sokoto State Task Force on Illegal structures.
The demolition exercise, according to the Chairman of the Task Force, retired Sqdn. Ldr. Aminu Bala, who spoke Friday in Sokoto, said the exercise commenced on Thursday.
Bala vowed that the exercise will continue till after the election not minding whose ox is gored.
“We are not out to witch hunt any candidate or political party; the aim is just to sanitize the city and make sure that nobody tramples on the Sokoto master plan.
“Therefore, any candidate or political party wanting to erect bill boards must seek the necessary approvals from the state Urban and Regional Planning Board,” Bala said.
He listed areas the billboards have been removed to include Dandima, Sultan’s Palace roundabout, Assada Junction, Manuri, Zaria, Sultan Abubakar, Aliyu Jodi and Modibbo Adama roads.
