"VERY WRONG:
From an environmental and public health perspective, this is wrong.
Placing a grave just about a metre to a water well is a sure way to ensure more deaths especially of young, vulnerable children, pregnant women and older people.
Let me attempt an explanation.
The human corpse (or any dead thing for that matter) is a biodegradable entity. Water from the soil plus some bacteria will decompose that body. Underground water which is plenty during the rains will wash the degraded corpse and by percolation and seepage, the water in the well will be polluted.
This poisoned water is what will be used to feed new babies, young children and adults in this area.
I found this dangerous construction inside Ogbere Tioya area as you branch off Orita Dollar by the electric transformer last weekend as I did environmental 'ojumito' to the area.
Ideally there should be laws against burial of corpses inside homes but I guess such laws are observed more in the breach rather than compliance.
Ona Ara LG and Oyo State Ministry of Environment should please take note.
Happy New week o!
Omi Tuntun, Igba Otun!"
