N/R: Kukuo community appeals for assistance amid severe water crisis

Kukuo, a remote community in Nanumba South, faces worsening hardships as residents, including alleged witches, endure severe water shortages and poor connectivity.

Perched on a mountain, the community’s attempts at borehole drilling have failed, leaving residents to fetch water from the distant Oti River or rely on expensive private tankers from Bimbilla.

The elderly, in particular, struggle with these conditions.

A recent Citi News report also highlighted the poor mobile network, making communication nearly impossible.

Journalists had to rely on locals to find signal spots.

Residents are now making urgent appeals for government intervention and support from charitable organizations, questioning why their plight remains overlooked. Many ask: *Aren’t the alleged witches human too?*
