Abim Residents Abandon Gardens over Stray Elephants
Residents of Abim district have abandoned their gardens following the invasion of stray elephants.
According to farmers, they have long been investing resources in the farms, hoping to get good harvests but it all ends in losses as the elephants continue destroying their crops.
The most affected Sub counties include Alerek Town Council, Atunga, Abim, Maga Maga, and Chamkok. The invasion of wild animals has not only destroyed crops but also threatened the lives of people.
Last week, a cyclist died on the spot and a passenger sustained injuries after knocking an elephant in the middle of the road between Otalabar and Alerek town council along Abim-Kotido road.
