Lubigi returnees face fresh eviction as NEMA arrests three

Environmental authorities have arrested three individuals in connection with ongoing encroachment on the Lubigi wetland. The National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) is taking action against those occupying the protected area. Some returnees who had established makeshift tents were reportedly ordered to dismantle them as part of the enforcement efforts.

This development comes as these returnees face the threat of fresh eviction from the wetland. The arrests signal a renewed push by NEMA to reclaim and protect the ecologically sensitive Lubigi wetland from further human settlement and activity.

The enforcement actions highlight the continued struggle to protect vital wetlands like Lubigi from encroachment, which is crucial for environmental health and disaster prevention.
