10-year-old boy drowns in Lagos flood

Lagos - A 10-year-old pupil, Stephen Ola-Atunbi was among three people that lost their lives during the downpour in Lagos, Punch reports.

Ten-year-old Stephen was said to have accompanied one Nafisat Badmus to withdraw money at a bank in Ijaiye– a few kilometres from their residence on Hassan Ogunmole Street in the Abule Tailor area of Lagos.




It was raining when they were returning from the bank and they decided to wait for the rain to stop at a shop on James Akanbi Street.

Stephe accidentally fell into one of the drains that connect a canal which links the street to Aboru and Ipaja Ayobo– neighbouring communities which was submerged by flood.
