Residents of Owerri, Imo State capital have cried out over the health implications of heaps of refuse that have recently taken over the heartland city.
Locals lament that there is hardly any corner in Owerri municipality, where there are no heaps of refuse oozing offensive and nauseating odour in the environment.
He said several spots within the state capital and some other adjoining communities such as Douglas by Mbaise road, Welthral road by MCC junction, Ikenegbu Girls Secondary School Owerri, Akwakuma Girls Secondary School Owerri and Akwakuma Market entrance areas are all affected. A school teacher, Mr Emeka Obianuju, resident of Item street, by Government College Owerri told DAILY POST that the dirty environment could endanger residents’ lives if nothing was done as soon as possible.
