A father and two of his children (a boy and a girl) have
been killed at Lokogoma District of Abuja by flood, following heavy down pour
that occurred in the early hours of yesterday.
Addressing newsmen over the sad event, the Director
General of the FCT Emergency Management Agency, Abbas Idriss said eye witness
reported that the man (unidentified) and his kids drove into the flooded road
and got stocked, eventually losing their lives.
Idriss said the flood was as a result of overflowing of a
stream, which flows from Lokogoma to Giri area.
“This is the reason we are training the locals on how to
rescue victims when such disasters occur,” he said.
