Abohah Ohi Residents ask Imo state government to checkmate Goodhope Bread against environmental pollution.
The Residents of Abohah Ohi of Owerri West LGA of Imo state has called on the state government to urgently come to their aid to forestall possible breakdown of Public health and public order in their environment because of the activities of Mr. Osmond Nkeonye, who owns Good Hope Bread or Klaver concepts, whom the residents said has allowed waste from his fish farm to flood the road, which has also polluted their environment.
Narrating their ordeal, Mr. Ndukaku Chimezie who was named after the close, said that their pleas to the owner of the fish pond to find a way to dispose his waste properly has felled on deaf ears. He said that the wastes/water discharged from the fish ponds of Osmond Nkeoma has become a great pollution treat and health risk to him & other residents of Ndukaku Chimezie Close.
Mr Chimezie went further to state that he has complained to the Health Department of Owerri Capital Development Authority (OCDA) on the matter, which the goverment agency has done well to invite Mr. Osmond Nkeonye, the owner of Good Hope Bread and fish pond, an invitation which he has vehemently declined, for reasons best known to him.
He therefore called on the state government and relevant authorities to wield into the matter so that the environment and health of Ndi Imo will not be affected because of the production of food in such a dirty environment.
