A middle-aged woman has died in a flood incident following downpour in Oko, Orumba North Local government Area of Anambra State.

Mrs. Onyinye Okafor, a mother of five, was said to have gone to transact business in a bank within the area and was on her way home when the incident occurred.

According to eyewitness, the deceased, from Etti in Nanka community, Orumba North Local Government Area of the State was swept away by the deluge after she jumped out of a tricycle she boarded in attempt to save her life.

The witness, who preferred anonymity, said: “It was about 11:49pm on Tuesday after the woman came out from the bank where she went to perform some transactions.

“Due to the heavy rain, she packed her motorcycle within the area and boarded a tricycle to the bank after which she boarded another tricycle to go pick her bike.

“While on the tricycle, the rider lost control due to the heavy flood but was battling with the steering and trying to return to his lane.

“Suddenly, the woman jumped out of the tricycle in the midst of the flood in attempt to save herself. But immediately she jumped down, she mis-stepped and fell into a drainage channel and was washed away by the flood.”

The witness however regretted that efforts to rescue her by the tricyclist with some of her co-passengers proved abortive as the ravaging flood eventually swept her off their hands.

“Many of those who attempted to rescue her also sustained varied degrees of injuries due to the impact of the flood,” the witness sobbed.

The Nation gathered that the deceased body was later recovered under a culvert of drainage channel located exactly at the gate of the Federal Polytechnic, Oko, after hours of intensive search.

She was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital where she was confirmed dead by the doctor on duty.

Confirming the incident, Police spokesperson, Ikenga Tochukwu said the body had been recovered, while investigations into the incident has commenced.

“The body has been recovered and the CP has directed investigation to unravel the circumstances surrounding the death. Meanwhile, the identity of the corpse is yet to be identified,” he said.

This is my kind of news

A Man, Identified simply as Chima, and his female lover, have allegedly hacked his wife at Omerelu community, in the Ikwerre Local Government Area of Rivers State.

PUNCH Metro gathered that trouble started when the wife, identified only as Wakaego, confronted him for bringing his girlfriend to their home on Monday.

She was subsequently attacked by the duo.

The victim’s elder brother, Anayo Warisi, while speaking to journalists in Port Harcourt, said his sister was seriously injured and rushed to a hospital.

He said, “It was this morning (Monday); my sister’s husband brought another woman to their house. So, she asked him why he did that. He started beating her.

“Then he cut her all over her body with a machete. But her leg was worse. My siblings took her to a hospital in Elele, but she was rejected because the injury was serious. So, they moved her to the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, where she was admitted.

“We want the husband arrested because this is a case of attempted murder. Let justice be served.”

Meanwhile, a group, Centre for Basic Rights Protection and Accountability Campaign, has called for a thorough investigation into the incident.

The group’s Secretary, Gladys Oyenmwen, said, “Domestic violence under any guise has no place in our society and should not be condoned irrespective of who is involved.”

The spokesperson for the Rivers State Police command, Grace Iringe-Koko, confirmed the incident, adding that the suspect’s girlfriend had been arrested.

“The woman has been arrested and the case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department,” she added.

She assured that Chima would be arrested.

Tragedy struck on Tuesday at the Elegushi Beach, in the Lekki area of Lagos State, after four teenagers drowned while swimming in the water.

PUNCH Metro gathered that 10 secondary school leavers, aged between 14 and 15, went to swim at the beach to celebrate the completion of their West African Senior School Examination.

They were said to be pupils of the Kuramo Senior College, Lekki.

The spokesperson for the Elegushi Beach Management, Chief Ayuba Elegushi, in a statement on Tuesday, said the pupils were not properly registered.

He noted that the incident happened at an unmanned section of the beach not open to the public.

He said, “We initially sent them away from the area of the beach they wanted to swim in. Then, they went to another place that was not for the public at all. It was the child of our kinsman, Abass, who took them from school to the beach and those kids followed him.

“They did not pay any gate fee to access the beach. Abass used the leverage that he was one of us to take them through another place.”

The victims were said to have raised the alarm as the water swept them away.

Elegushi said some life guards plunged into the water and brought out six of the pupils.

“Out of the six that were rescued, some escaped by the time we got there. We were able to arrest two of them and we took them to the Jakande Police Station .

“As of now, there are still four missing as our seamen have not been able to bring them out of the water. We have informed their parents and they have come to the police station.

“Abass is one of the missing kids. There is another boy we have not identified and two other girls,” he added.

The Spokesperson said the two boys that were arrested told the police that they were chased from the beach before sneaking into the restricted section to swim.

He said, “They wrote in their statements that they were chased from the first section they went to. Abass told them that they should not worry and he would take them to another part of the beach. He took them to another end of the beach where no one could see them.”

The State Police Public Relations Officer, Benjamin Hundeyin, confirmed the incident, adding that investigation was ongoing.

He said, “The teenagers were from Kuramo Senior College, Lekki. Four of them are missing. They are two males and two females. Efforts are on to recover their bodies. We have yet to meet with the parents of the victims.”

The spokesperson for the Lagos State Waterways Authority, Saheed Adesanya, said he would confirm the incident and get back to our correspondent.

He had yet to do so as of the time of filing this report.
