Flood sweeps a 13 years old boy student from his Dad's Motorcycle while on their way to School in Abuja.
13-year-old Junior Secondary School JSS student, Alhassan Jamil, has been swept away by flood in the Gwagwalada Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory FCT, Abuja.
Narrating the incident, Maikasuwa said he had picked up his son on his motorcycle to drop him at school. However, while crossing a double cell culvert, they encountered fast moving floodwater.
āUpon discovering that the flood water was coming on high speed, I applied brake but my son, out of fear, jumped from the bike and suddenly fell into the flood water,ā he said.
āAnd immediately when I discovered he jumped down from the bike, I quickly pushed the bike aside and tried to grab his hand in order to save him but unfortunately, the flood water swept him away,ā
Actually, my sonās co**se is yet to be recovered, even though some residents whose houses are close to the river bank said they discovered the co**se with his school bag strapped to his back floating. We hope that the co**se will be recovered so we can give him a befitting buri@l,ā he said.
