Little Inuwa lived on, but with a broken leg and bruises all over her body.<\/p>\n<p>Inuwa was helping Hajia, her single mother, with getting water for their house when the accident happened.\u201cI don\u2019t have a husband, neither do I have a paying job. My family and I survive through the proceeds of my small business,\u201d Hajia told Stallion Times investigators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBuying water is very expensive, and when I close from the day\u2019s sales, I and my children go across to fetch water, but see where that has led my daughter Fati.<br \/>\n\u201cThat fateful day, we were already taking the last trench of water home when from nowhere, that car just lifted my daughter with her bucket of water on her head. He sped off immediately but all thanks to those around who took her off the road, but then, she was covered in her own blood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe sustained injuries including a broken leg, and that leg, up till now, hasn\u2019t properly healed. She has been going to an orthopedic clinic every Tuesday in FMC, and that is a lot of money, but I need to treat my child. I am indebted to many people and my business is also suffering; as you know, if she doesn\u2019t go to the clinic, the leg will never be useful anymore. I am appealing to the state government to please look into this issue of water scarcity and release water for us. It\u2019s becoming a big nightmare for us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson Amos, another parent who was a Felele resident, had to go through a worse ordeal.<\/p>\n<p>Moses, Amos\u2019 seven-year-old son, died after a long and exhausting battle to keep him alive as he suffered from a deadly waterborne disease.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWater scarcity in Lokoja town has not only made me financially broke, but it has also cost me my only son,\u201d Amos said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government and the State Ministry of Water Resources made our lives miserable. No water, and no alternative. We only buy water from water vendors who we don\u2019t even know where they get their supply from.<\/p>\n<p>Narrating how Moses died, Amos revealed the weeks of attention he and his wife gave to their ailing son.<\/p>\n<p>Their quest to save Moses took them from Lokoja in Kogi State to Abuja, Nigeria\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMoses Amos was the only male child I had. He started complaining of stomach pain and this pain lasted for a number of months. At a point, the chemist I went to suggested we deworm him and we did but the ache persisted,\u201d Amos explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy boy could no longer eat, he became a shadow of himself and it was at that point we took him to the Kogi State Specialist Hospital, Lokoja, where we were referred to the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were told he had untreated typhoid which had perforated his intestines. We spent over three hundred thousand (N300,000) for surgery and even more for bed space, treatment and dressing of the wound. There was no accommodation for us, so we had to be lodged in a hotel close to the hospital in order to be close to Moses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis treatment drained our resources. I sell second-hand electrical appliances and my wife is a tailor. When we could no longer afford the bills at the hospital and the hotel, we asked that we be discharged, and that was how we came back home with our son.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt first, he showed signs of improvement, but that was short-lived as he died after four days of being discharged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abigail Omale, a resident of GRA in Lokoja town, found out that her ward had been manipulated and sexually violated by the gateman at her neighbour\u2019s house. The gateman raped Enechojon, Omale\u2019s 15-year-old ward, before letting her fetch water from the compound several times.<\/p>\n<p>The rapist gateman eventually impregnated Echenojon and infected her with a yeast infection. All this happened because she wanted to fetch water from her neighbour\u2019s residence in the midst of water scarcity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn February 2023, I noticed my daughter\u2019s sluggishness. She rejects food and becomes frail,\u201d Omale told Stallion Times investigators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne day, she fainted, I rushed her to the hospital; the doctor disclosed that she was 3 months pregnant. It was at this point she narrated what had been happening to her each time I sent her to fetch water from the neighbours.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, she is out of school. We managed to feed her before because I am a local government worker and you know that local government workers in Kogi State are paid percentage salaries and the payment is not every month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI managed to register for antenatal, we need to get baby essentials, prepare for delivery, and even get her routine drugs. What can I do other than to pray for the governor, His Excellency, Alhaji Yahaya Bello to help us and find a solution to our suffering due to the scarcity of potable drinking water?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Omale said that the rapist made no contribution to support Echenojon. There were no indications that he would face the law for statutory rape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By FIJ A report by Stallion Times has highlighted the horrific effects of
