Nelson Emeka Okpaca of Anambara State was caught last Thursday by local police for peddling at the market adjacent to the OTML sewerage treatment plant in Tabubil, Western Province.
The expatriate appeared on Friday before Magistrate Billy Pidu.
Pidu, before handing down the court decision, told the defendant that his action was against the law and policy of the Ok Tedi Mining company, and also the country.
Okpaca was released from Police custody after paying his K50 court fine.
