An eight-year-old boy, Onyeka Umeh, has been rescued from a canal on Pastor Ojediran Street in the Ejigbo area of Lagos State.

Umeh was said to be picking pet bottles among other items around the canal on Monday afternoon before trailing it to a sinking spot.

The Director of Lagos Fire and Rescue Service, Margaret Adeseye, in a statement, said he was rescued alive after his companion raised the alarm.

The statement read in part, “The distress call which was alerted at 3:20 pm had Ejigbo Fire Station and the Agency’s Rescue Crew mobilised to salvage the sinking boy from the canal.

“He was eventually handed over to the police from Ejigbo Division to reunite with the family.”

Adeseye urged parents to keep a close tab on their children and wards and provide much-needed guidance to preserve their safety.

Nothing will scare this boy anymore in this life. Nigga saw death face to face and he survived. Shout out to the agency for a job well done.

Witnessing a child being rescued from drowning is a deeply emotional experience for any family. The overwhelming relief and gratitude they feel in that moment cannot be measured. As they hold each other tightly, tears of happiness flow freely, and they express heartfelt gratitude to the rescuer who saved their child's life. This experience instills in them a renewed appreciation for their loved ones and the preciousness of life. It serves as a powerful reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of safety measures, and their hearts are filled with compassion for others who have been through similar ordeals.

Thank God for his life
