A video has emerged of a community in Kwara State where dwellers have no other source of drinking water than to dig up muddy liquid from the ground.
The residents of Dagbalodo community in Patigi Local Government Area (LGA) of the state were sighted by a concerned citizen digging holes in the ground.
The say they collect the mud that seeps out from the holes in their bowls and buckets, wait for it to settle and take it home for drinking, cooking, and other household activities.
The village women added that sourcing for water is much more difficult in the dry season when they dig for hours before water starts to emerge from the holes.
We are hoping the appropriate authorities see this story and get the community dwellers the help they need.
