Abia State environmental authorities seal a residence in Aba after discovering more than 100 bags of human excreta stored on the premises. Officials from the Abia State Environmental Protection Agency (ASEPA) say the waste is found at No. 16 Ibadan Street and was kept within the compound of a public house. Authorities state the storage creates a risk of an epidemic outbreak.
Premium Times reports additional details from the inspection, including four basins of faeces and a sewage pit located beneath a bed inside the living room. The outlets both describe the discovery of large quantities of human waste and the resulting sealing of the building by environmental officials. While the Daily Post focuses on the number of bags and the public-health risk, Premium Times emphasizes the specific locations and containers where the waste is kept inside the home.
