Following the death of 36 cows at Ijare in Ifedore Local Council Area of Ondo State by thunderstorm on Saturday, an offensive odour has swept across the community. The odour, if not quickly checked, might result into an epidemic, according to residents of the area, who raised the alarm on Wednesday. Our correspondent, who visited the community on Wednesday, observed that many of the town's residents living close to the site of the incident, had abandoned their homes. Mr John Ajayi, a resident of the community, told SaharaReporters that the smell oozing from the site of the tragedy was dangerous to human health, noting that the government has to urgently intervene. "We no longer allow people to get closer to the mountain where cows died. Everywhere is now smelling and we need to be careful. "We are appealing to the state government to urgently visit the community and help us out to prevent possible outbreak of epidemic in the community. See Also News
