The Divisional Police Officer in Ikare Akoko, Mr. Olatujoye Akinwande, who confirmed the incident said the school principal, Mrs. Ajoke Asiwaju, reported the matter at the police station.
He said the search and rescue operation had commenced.
your news about this isnt true as the school girl wasnt playing with erosion. she tried jumping the culvet but her leg slipped and fell in the gutter. her friend tried rescuing her but she couldnt. do ur research vry well b4 jumping into conclusion
Even the friend (name-withheld) said she held her hand to see if she could be of help, but the erosion was so powerful and she let go of her hand. Another man whose name couldnt be ascertained jumped in the gutter to save her, but the erosion also took him; he was so fortunate to hold the one of the rod used for the gutter.
the road engineer are the cause of the calamity. they dug canal in the major road that aids the erosion to overflow and covered the major road. the engineers are very disastrous
YOU REALLY NEED A COMMUNITY REPORTER
