Umuebi Family Appeals to Gov Otti Over Stinking Poultry Farm Next Door

A family in Umuebi, Obikabia, Isiala Ngwa North LGA, has asked Governor Alex Otti to intervene in a dispute over a poultry farm sited beside their home. The facility, owned by Dr. Nwambuisi Elele, is fenced and secured with high-tech gadgets. Residents say it releases an unbearable odour that forces them to keep windows and doors shut. Attempts by journalists and the Abia State Ministry of Environment to inspect the farm were blocked. A ministry team reportedly confirmed the site was wrongly approved, but the owner has refused to relocate and plans to add piggery and fishery units. The family seeks a peaceful resolution and fears for their health. They are calling on the state government to enforce proper zoning rules and protect their wellbeing.
