A 23-year old lady, Miss Chukwusom Nwoko
reportedly lost her life following a heavy rain in
Onitsha, the commercial nerve centre of Anambra
state.
The rain which was said to have started shortly
after the visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to
the commercial city of the state, lasted over an
hour.
The Nation gathered that the deceased was
returning home after the day’s business with two
other colleagues of hers when the rain started.
A resident of the area, who did not want to be
mentioned, said they quickly rushed into a nearby
shop within Ochanja market round-about to avoid
being wait by the rain.
“Few minutes after, the owner of the shop asked
them to leave his shop, claiming he wanted to
shut it as it was getting late.
“The girls pleaded with him to allow them stay a
little as it was still raining heavily but the man
ignored them and was busy locking up his shop.”
The man however alleged that two of the girls
who angrily left had crossed the deep drainage
with the aid of a plank used as bridge when the
shop owner reportedly removed the plank.
“The man raised the plank while Miss Nwoko,
was on it and she fell into the deep gutter filled
to capacity because of the heavy down pour.
“On seeing that she has drowned, he briskly shut
his shop and ran away before sympathizers and
on-lookers who defied the rain to rescue the girl
rushed to the scene,” he added.
The Nation further learnt that the body of the
deceased was later recovered and was taken to
Borromeo Catholic Mission hospital morgue.
Speaking to newsmen, the father of the girl, Mr.
Ndubuisi Nwoko accused the shop owner of killing
his daughter.
He said, “The man has just killed my daughter
and ran away and he has not been seen up till
now.
“I have lodged the matter at Fegge police station
and we have gone to the mortuary where the
police took photograph of the corpse
“I want to see the killer of my daughter who is
doing the business to keep her busy waiting for
when she will get admission into tertiary
institution.”
The Fegge Divisional Police Officer, Mr Garba
Rabiu, confirmed the incident, but said the
suspect was still at large.
“We are looking for the man, he has not been
seen since the incident happened,” he said.
