The non-stop rainfall which is being experienced in Owerri, Imo state capital has continued to breed one tragic incident after another; From flooding of houses to the collapse of several roads due to shabby road construction in the state capital.
Curently trending online is the story of a young man who has died following the 10-hour rainfall in Owerri.
The deceased named Izuchukwu died along the Nekede by West end road. It was gathered that Izuchukwu while trying to cross the roads, didn’t know there was a culvert and as he attempted to cross the road he fell inside the culvert and hit his head on the side of the culvert.
….But for the quick response of some men around, he would have been swept off by the flood, but he was quickly rescued and taken to FMC owerri where he was confirmed dead.

Nawoo.. May his soul rest in peace
I advise that people should remain indoors anytime it rains.
if the road is flooded, you will hardly know where the gutter and potholes are especially if you are new in that area
Good talk
When rain is falling you stay indoors until the ways are clear for you to know where the drainage systems exist.
infact don’t walk on flooded areas if u are not familiar with the enviroment and again use long pole or stick to identify shallow places before steping ur foot.
Beautiful advice
Death a respecta of nobody!
It immediately changes your face and turns you to a pitiful matter.
Rest in peace
This is very strange… I kept on wondering if Imo state is a state of rain or what. Yesterday was terrible, through out yesterday it was raining everywhere flooded. I don’t even no how people will cope in such environment. May his soul rest in peace..We should be careful and alert at all time
By now we should have learned some lesson to stay were we’re whenever is raining. RIP Bro
