Abakaliki, Jan. 6, 2021 Residents of Igweogbuofia Street, Kpirikpiri in Abakaliki metropolis of Ebonyi, have called on relevant authorities to evacuate the remains of a dead baby found at a refuse dump in the area.
The residents made the call on Wednesday, during their separate interview with newsmen in Abakaliki, while expressing worry over the incident.
One of the residents in the area, Mrs Chinwe Madu, alleged that the act was not committed in the area.
According to Madu, an unsuspected member of the public must have committed the act elsewhere and dumped the body in the street to avoid being identified.
Business operators Ed and Louise Sykes, of Llys Meddyg restaurant, were fined £1,050 each. Llys Meddyg had received a Food Hygiene Rating of ‘1’ following an inspection on February 20, 2019 by an Environmental Health Officer from Pembrokeshire County Council’s Public Protection Division. But a court heard that, on September 4, 2019, the officer visited the premises again, at the owners’ request, to carry out an inspection to ‘re-score’ the business and provide them with a new food hygiene rating. On arrival, she saw that the current food hygiene rating sticker was hidden on an internal glass door behind a lantern. The company had already received verbal and written warnings, as well as a fine, for failing to display their score properly as required by law.
