Mike Macayo, 44, a resident of Otodo Village in Odek Sub-county recently went to collect water from a well, what he discovered shocked him. Several dead frogs and flies were floating on the water. “I did not fetch it, only to hear my uncle was in a coma at home after drinking water from the well,” he said. Macayo’s uncle, whose name could not be established, was one of the 60 people who became sick after drinking water from poisoned water sources in Odek Sub-county last week.
