A mass fish die-off has been reported in the Fumbisi-Weisi stream in the Builsa South District of the Upper East Region, sparking concerns about potential fish poisoning.
Various species of fish, including tilapia, catfish, and fingerlings, were found dead in the water, alarming local residents.
A visit by GNA to the scene confirmed the sight of dead fish floating in the stream, which had dark-colored water and a foul odor.
Despite the absence of visible mining activities during the visit, many residents suspect that chemicals used by illegal miners in the area may have caused the fish mortality.
