Varieties of fish including fingerlings have been found dead in the Fumbisi-Weisi stream in the Builsa South District of the Upper East Region.

The suspected fish poisoning raised concerns among residents in the community and the District, who are expressing shock at the development.

A visit by the Ghana News Agency (GNA), to the stream to assess the situation, observed that fingerlings, tilapia, catfish among other types of fish were dead in the water.

The colour of the water looked dark with awful smell emanating from the stream, while some children in the community were seen swimming.
