A first look at the decaying facilities of Ekuku dam reminds one of an old farm house. Located in a fascinating natural landscape, neither the condition of the dam nor the attractive environment is of concern to the state government.Our team arrived about 10 minutes past 4pm. The whole area was as silent as a graveyard. No human being could be sighted around vicinity or any notice of somenone having crossed the paths for the past hours.
Puzzled by the quietness of the environment, our technical officer, Muhammed Danjuma did not hesitate to ask wether no wild animal wandered around there. But one thing that distiguished the Ekuku Dam area of Agassa, Okene is its strategic location in the green valley, a complete natural environment with well cultivated farmlands.
Daring the looming danger, we walked the paths through the farms and the rocky hills into the thicket, in search of the infamous 'Ori garuwa', a mysterious cave.
Along the bush path, a man approached us. He was a farmer retiring for the day. We inquired for directions to the cave. In less than five minute walk, we arrived at the foot of the cave. See pictures of the cave and more here
