Confusion Trails Discovery of Human Faeces at Abia Local Government Chairman’s Office

Confusion and concern have followed the discovery of heaps of human faeces at the office complex of the Chairman of Bende Local Government Area (LGA) in Abia State.

The incident was disclosed by the Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the Chairman of Bende LGA, Chimezie Princewill Okezie, who confirmed that the offensive substance was found within the local government council premises.

According to Okezie, the faeces were deliberately deposited around the political block that houses the office of the Executive Chairman of the council, Uwabunkeonye Bassey. He explained that the substance was plastered at various entrances leading into the complex, creating what he described as a disturbing and shocking scene.

While the identity of those responsible for the act has not yet been established, Okezie stated that the situation raised serious concerns about motive and intent. He noted that the manner in which the faeces were placed suggested a deliberate attempt to insult, provoke, and desecrate a public institution.

Speaking further, Okezie alleged that the incident amounted to a targeted attack on the Chairman of Bende LGA. He claimed that political opponents, whom he said had been unable to rival the Chairman’s achievements in governance, were likely behind the action.

He recounted that earlier in the day, specifically on Wednesday, staff and visitors arriving at the Bende Local Government Council Headquarters were met with the disturbing sight within the political block that houses the Chairman’s office. According to him, the act went beyond verbal criticism or online propaganda, reflecting what he described as desperation and pettiness from disgruntled opposition elements.

Okezie maintained that the act was not only offensive but also an assault on the dignity of the council, its workforce, and the people of Bende LGA as a whole. He emphasized that public institutions should be respected, regardless of political differences.

He further assured members of the public that the matter would not be ignored. According to him, anyone found to be responsible for the act, irrespective of political or personal affiliation, would face appropriate consequences.

Okezie concluded by stating that such actions cannot be overlooked or swept aside, stressing that accountability would be enforced to uphold the integrity of the local government and maintain public order.
