Residents of neighboring
communities to Otta Farms in Ogun
state have
raised alarm over the threat posed
to their health by the outbreak of
Bird Flu on the farm, which hosts a
poultry unit in addition to other
ventures.
The outbreak of bird flu disease has
been authoritatively confirmed to
have hit the poultry unit of the farm owned by former President,
Olusegun
Obasanjo.
The deadly virus, which the
communities said poses threat to
them because of proximity, is raising serious cause
for alarm as they revealed that
every effort made to draw the
attention of the Federal Ministry of
Health
to the issued have fallen on deaf ears.
A resident of one of the
communities, who does not want to
be identified
because he fears a reprisal from the
owner of the farm said “We are worried. We do not even allow our
children to play outside anymore
because
no one knows what can happen.
“Unfortunately, the Ministry of
Health has no bothered to come here to
verify, neither has the Agric Ministry.
This is why Otta Farms has not
bothered to act by doing what is
required, which is to destroy the
sick birds.” The source said.
The strain on virus currently on the
loose in Nigeria has not been
proven
to cross to human but residents said
it is a risk they are not willing to take.
According to Dotun Jimoh who
works in one of the farm units, he
said Baba
has practically abandoned the farm
due to his busy political undertakings
in and out of the country, a situation
which has forced many workers in
the farm particularly the veterinary
section to get themselves engaged
with other life endeavour to help their families while the birds are left
at the mercy of whatever thing that
comes their way.

I sense divine wrath.

The owner is busy with elections, politics and drama while his birds are dying. Anyway we know that no matter the amount of birds that die in Obasanjo's farm, he can never be as poor as Dangote. With 16 billion dollars "spent" by Obasanjo on "electricity " he can never be poor again, farm or no farm

The owner is busy plotting on how to go back to Aso rock. Since his third tenure plans didn't work. He is working on his plan B.
