He, therefore, appealed to the assembly and ministry in charge of roads to help construct the road which has been a death trap for over two years now.

Meanwhile, the District National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) manager, Kipo Sule, disclosed that he has presented his report to the Savannah Regional NADMO Director and the District Chief Executive for Bole after visiting the area.

He added that he has been assured that a Road Engineer will survey the area and access the situation.
