Two children of same parents aged 12 and 6 have been confirmed dead following massive flooding in Okpoko, New Haven Layout, Ogbaru, Anambra State.

Rainfall which started on Thursday evening and lasted through the early morning yesterday left several properties damaged in parts of Onitsha, Owelle Aja and Oduke in Obosi and Okpoko area.

Church buildings, fences, vehicles and houses were damaged in the flooding.

In Okpoko area, streets affected include Achina, Ojibe, Onyekwelu and Emenike.

Consoling Mr John Obasi, father of the victims, chieftain of the Progressive Peoples Alliance and governorship aspirant, Mr. Godwin Ezeemo lamented that lack of proper planning and drainage system had caused untold hardship in several parts of the state.

Ezeemo who was pained by the loss of the children under such circumstances called on both state and federal governments to urgently come to the aid of the displaced and affected families.


President General of Okpoko community, Chief Linus Ezenwamma blamed the flooding in the area on indiscriminate dumping of refuse leading to blockage of drainage channels.

You could at least be civil and show some sympathy or just shut it! Those were kids who didn't sign up to even be born in any part of the absolute cesspit called Nigeria. Not everything is some tribal bigot point to be scored!

I am also sure u didn't make that crappy statement when about 20 persons were reported dead from d same flood issues in Suleja. I hope that isn't the legendary cowardice shining through...

You shouldn't have dignify that Low life with a reply. He just showed the world what a demented scum he is.

Kondomatic:
Idiot.

Ka mkpuru obi ha na n'udo


N'aha Jesu Christi onye nwe anyi

eyaaaa....Jah console the parents

So this is the type of place this guys would resort to should Nnamdi Kanu succeeds in deceiving them to pull out?


Very inhabitable and highly susceptible to flooding. Going by their clamour for a sovereign state, I had thought that their region was an el dorado of some sort!


It's a pity!



RIP good children
