Ondo govt orders river fumigation, emergency water supply in Igbokoda over military aircraft crash

Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa has ordered the fumigation of the Igbokoda River following a Nigerian Air Force aircraft crash last week. According to Punch, the directive was issued after residents complained of an offensive stench emanating from the site, raising concerns regarding environmental pollution and health risks during ongoing recovery operations.

The governor directed the Ministries of Environment and Health to begin extensive fumigation of the river to prevent potential disease outbreaks, Punch reports. Additionally, the governor ordered the distribution of nose masks and other health kits to residents. To address water needs, Aiyedatiwa directed the Ilaje Local Government Area to arrange for water tankers, while Premium Times notes the governor also ordered an emergency water supply in the community.
