Following this week's severe downpours, a large gully has been left on the Wapuli-Yendi route in the Northern Region.

The disaster took place as the Bagre Dam in adjacent Burkina-Faso, which is operated by SONABEL Company Limited, started to spill water.

The spillage of the dam is expected to worsen the impact of flooding on the road and other parts of the community.

The Wapuli-Yendi road is the alternative road not only for the people of Saboba but Chereponi district too.

What this means is that two districts, Chereponi and Saboba have been cut off from the rest of the country.

Last week, the main Yendi-Saboba road was also damaged.

The situation has left many stranded in the area.

The Ministry of Roads and Highway has engaged contractors to urgently work on the Wapuli-Yendi.

This is according to the District Chief Executive for Saboba, George Bingrini.

The DCE, who visited the area assured that the road would be fixed soon.

“I had a discussion with the Deputy Minister for Roads and Highways and as of this morning, the arrangement has been done for a contractor to come and temporarily work on that side for the people to access the road,” Mr. Bingrini said.
