Governor Soludo Offers Condolences for Flood Victim in Anambra

Anambra State Governor Chukwuma Soludo extended condolences to the family of Success Ezenwafor, a pupil of Nnamdi Azikiwe University Primary School, who was swept away by floodwaters in Isiagu, Awka South LGA. The incident occurred last Tuesday when the school bus transporting Success and other occupants was trapped and overturned by floods.

While nine others were rescued by the Anambra State Police Command and local residents, Success remained missing until his body was recovered on Wednesday morning. During a church service on Sunday commemorating Nigeria’s 66th Independence anniversary, Soludo expressed deep sorrow for the loss, emphasizing the impact on the Ezenwafor family, the school, and the community.

He called for public safety measures, urging residents to manage rainwater runoff, avoid blocking drainages, and actively clean drainage systems. Soludo also highlighted the importance of personal responsibility in safeguarding communities to prevent similar tragedies.
