A 6-year-old girl has been confirmed dead after slipping into a toilet pit filled with wastewater in Nkwanta South.
Eunice Nana Yaa Bilaba met her untimely death after falling into a pit dug by the New Jerusalem Assembly of the Church of Pentecost which has been abandoned for months and pregnant with wastewater.
The Adom Model School class One (1) pupil fell into the pit that was dug by the Church of Pentecost purposely to construct a toilet but left it for some months ago.
Speaking to the deceased father, Mr Bilaba Baba who had returned from his journey when he saw many people besieging his house crying over the unfortunate incident, stated that all the neighbours around had been complaining about the abandoned pit yet the church did not pay attention to it.
He further stated that, now that the harm has been caused the church has contracted someone to cover it.
