Anambra Scrap Dealers to Be Profiled as Market Leader Targets Vandals and Stolen Goods

The Anambra State Coordinator of Scrap Dealers, Izuchukwu Ibekailo, says the state will tighten oversight of scrap businesses to curb the sale of stolen property and vandalism of public facilities. He said dealers will be profiled for easier identification, while illegal operators and scavengers involved in criminal activity will be targeted. He added that scrap dealers would work with the police, OCHA Brigade and Udo-Ga-Chi security operatives. Ibekailo said legitimate dealers already verify sellers and vehicle documents before dismantling vehicles or accepting materials. He also pledged to ensure dealers pay required state and local government levies, while restoring the reputation of the scrap business in Anambra.

Exactly, the profiling should include clear checks and accountability so genuine dealers are not treated like suspects.

Profiling could make identification easier, but oversight will matter as much as collecting dealers' details.

Targeting scrap dealers alone may not stop vandalism if buyers and other links in the stolen-goods chain remain unchecked.

The state should pair profiling with clear records for purchases, inspections, and a simple way to report suspicious materials.
