The people of Oguduasa, Isuikwuato Local Government Area of Abia State, have been cut off from other communities by erosion.
The erosion, which is believed to be as deep as a 20-storey building, has swept away the road connecting the community from Akara Junction to the state university at Uturu.
It was learnt that the pit has claimed many lives and property.
The palliative work earlier done by the Federal Government in partnership with the state government has collapsed.
Road users are forced to divert to bush paths.
At Bende, erosion has also eaten deep into the road connecting the community from Umuahia to Ohafia and Arochukwu.
The erosion may destroy many houses, including that of a prominent politician, Chief Benjamin Nmeregini, if left unattended. Both communities are calling on the Federal Government to come to their aid.
