One Dies, 2 Hospitalised As Soak- Away Pit Collapses In Ebonyi by Alexas58: 10:54am On Aug 19, 2014
ONE-year-old baby, Odinaka
Nworu, was weekend reported
to have died, following the
collapse of a soak-away pit at No.
5 Obi Street in Abakaliki.
The two siblings of the deceased,
Somtochukwu and Eunice
Nworu, sustained injuries as they
are currently receiving treatment
at Trinity Hospital, Abakaliki.
The children hail from Effium,
Ohaukwu Local Government Area
of the state.
Vanguard gathered that the
incident happened when Miss
Eunice Nworu,10, who was
carrying her little brother,
Odinaka, on her arms climbed a
concrete soak-away toilet pit
alongside her other sister,
Somtochukwu, 4 and tried to
hang their clothes when the pit
collapsed and submerged three
of them.
The tragic incident occurred
when the parents of the trio
went for an early morning
service in the church.
Confirming the incident, the
father of the children, Mr.Ezekiel
Nworu, said he got the ugly
news while he was still at St.
Theresa’ Cathedral Church where
he attended a church service.
According to him, the numerous
phone calls he received made
him rush home immediately to
ascertain what was happening.
“The tragedy that struck my
family intended to wipe out my
whole family and put us in deep
agony but after frantic efforts in
search of my children, we were
able to bring all of them out of
the pit toilet; only that one of
them who is the youngest could
not survive it,” he said.
