Open defecation is gradually becoming a norm in some parts of Kpaduma community of Asokoro Extension in the Federal Capital Territory FCT.
Some members in that area wants the government to prosecute owners of houses without toilets to reduce the act of open defecation.
The community solicits the enforcement of rules that will ensure that every house has toilets.
Some of the community members made this appeal ia during the community’s monthly sanitation exercise in the area.
Mrs Asabe Philemon, a member of the community, said: “It is worrisome that some landlords in this area would just build houses without constructing toilets.’’
Mr Friday Gyang, another resident of the community, called on the government to enforce laws that would ensure each property owner make provision for toilets before the tenants moved to the houses.
It is so sad that this is happening within the capital, not outskirts. Even houses in the villages have toilet talk more of the city,’’ he said.
