What happened
Following complaints regarding a strong stench from the site of a Nigerian Air Force aircraft crash last week, Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa ordered extensive fumigation of the Igbokoda River. The governor also directed the Ministries of Environment and Health to distribute nose masks and health kits to local residents. Furthermore, the Ilaje Local Government Area was directed to arrange water tankers if the river is found to be severely polluted.
