The Chief Environmental Health Officer, Abuja Municipal Area Council (AMAC), Mallam Tijjani Ado has disclosed moves by the council to set up a task force that would clampdown on vendors of music label, Restaurants and others who play music aloud in the public.
Ado who said such music constitutes nuisance to residents of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), also noted that such act do not conform with the laws of the FCT apart from the health hazard it constitute.
The health officer who frowned at the situation in which about two or more operators of such businesses tune their music so loud that one does not know which music to listen to, is enough reason to caution them to bring it down to their own hearing and that of their immediate listeners.
He said the task force would commence work within the week, but was quick to explain that an advanced notice would be served to all those who operate such businesses before they finally swing into action.
Areas to be affected according to him, include motorparks, Nyanya, Karu, Garki, Wuse and most of the restaurants in town especially those patronised by fun seekers.
In view of this, Mallam Ado called on residents to desist from such act or face the full wrath of the law
