Kaduna River where incident occurred

Five secondary school students have been declared missing after nine of them accidentally fell into in a river in Kaduna state, North West Nigeria.
The incident was said to have occurred on Wednesday afternoon.

The Executive Secretary of Kaduna State Emergency Management Agency, Ezekiel Baba-Karik who confirmed the incident to Channels TV, said the students, from a private secondary school in the state capital, were on an excursion at a waterworks facility at the Kaduna River when the incident occurred.

The victims are reported to have slipped from an old barge and plunged into the water.

According to Mr Baba-Karik, the four others were rescued and taken to Barau Dikko Teaching hospital in the state capital.

Heard it on the radio this evening. Well, it's Nigeria. The people involved will just get a verbal reprimand, the victims' parents will receive a paltry compensatory sum; and the case will die a natural death.



Quite efficient, I must confess.

Total negligence from the private school and it management. They should be held responsible. You can't organise an excursion to the river without safety wears and life jacket. Those students would have hardly drown wearing jackets.
Someone will still blame Buhari for this.

oh mha God

The parents won't get over this in a short time, quite sad.

May God save us

Most excursion trips always end in disaster from lack of adequate safety measures for tjhe large group of students who will be experiencing the environment for the first time to the fact that no be everybody carry the same spirit

Parents should note that it's not mandatory for their children or wards to participate in each and every excursion

El-Rufai do something.

Sad. They should have had all the kids wear safety jackets.

rip

RIP to the dead.
I pray the Lord give the families the heart to bear the loss.

Kaduna state is not North west but North Central.

oh my bad lmao

Zero safety! The water board should also be blamed for allowing kids ferry without wearing safety materials knowing how delapidated their facilities are.

Sad!

no visible development in a region were all the fund meant for development of the rest of the Nigeria are channeled, IMF and international communities should stop giving funds to this useless rogues because it will end up in Alhajis and Hajia pocket

I know the man who was talking about his son. So this is how faith,faithful or faithfulness have died. Take heart Mr Arogundade.

Mehn.. Tragic.

What kind of school is this that they couldn't consult the parents' permission before taking the wards for excursion.

When my child's school wanted to teach the children how to swim, I was called and I they sent me an email with the consensual form, With all safety precautions stated in the document. Because I wanted it for my son, I signed and scanned back to them.

So no matter the distance the parent should be contacted at all time when it concerns the wards.
