Leader of the village, Ahmed Ayinde, said efforts have been made to bring the situation to the attention of the state government all to no avail.
A resident identified as Alhaji Isiaka Aweda told officers from the anti-corruption civil society organization, Elites Network for Sustainable Development (ENetSuD), that the lake, their only source of water, serves at least 7 communities in the LGA.
This is even as the only source of water for the community, holes dug in the ground, dried up due to the harmattan.
Apart from the residents drinking from the water, cattle, dogs and other animals drink from it.
The group, however, said it was not working for any government but for the public, albeit in partnership with the government.
