ASP Dungus Abdulkarim, the Command Spokesman disclosed this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Damaturu.
”On May 25, he poured insecticide into nine wells which are sources of water to residents and herds in the area.
“ When we collected the well eater as a sample and conducted laboratory analysis, we discovered that they were contaminated with faecal Coliforms, which can cause cholera, typhoid and other water-borne diseases.
