Meanwood Ibex residents in Lusaka have written to the Minister of Home Affairs and Internal Security, complaining about the foul stench emanating from one of their neighbours, who is said to keeping carcasses of dogs to harvest maggots.
With the vibrio bacteria on
loose killing hundreds and infecting many others, the residents feel their
neighbour Jibodu Babatunde Olukayode, a British national will put their health
in jeopardy.
Olukayode was arrested on
January 18 last year for killing the dogs and then harvesting maggots using
their carcasses.
He was subsequently released on
police bond. Since his release, residents claim he has resumed his activities
despite facing charges.
According to the letter,
Olukayode has “not only continued his activities,” but has also begun keeping
chickens, causing a disturbance at night.
Residents report a foul odour
emanating from his house, further heightening their concerns.
“Attempts to address the issue
directly with Olukayode have proven unsuccessful,” the letter states.
He reportedly dismissed their
concerns, claiming they should have approached him first before involving the
authorities.
