Two male students of a private secondary school were picked up dead in the flood after a heavy rain in Alagbado area of Lagos on Thursday March 29th.
According to PM news, the boys were found floating on water at Casso Bus Stop on Lagos/Abeokuta Expressway by shop owners and people waiting to board vehicles to their destinations.
Some commercial motorcycle riders carried them to a private hospital which confirmed them dead.
An eyewitness said the boys who were in their school uniforms, were discovered floating on the water.
“That was how we discovered the boys and quickly the Okada (motorcycle riders) people rushed and lifted them on their shoulders but they were lifeless because their legs and hands were just dangling. I wonder why they should go to school today which was declared work free and see how they have ended their lives just like that; it’s painful,’’ the eyewitness said
There was heavy rain in the area in the afternoon which resulted in heavy flooding.
