We have not been able to report this incident to the authority because we have been busy looking for the boy. We were more than 50 yesterday (Thursday). I don\u2019t think you can step your feet in the canal. We are yet to find his body.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a lady here that promised that she was going to inform the authority about the incident, but we never heard anything about it since then. What we are now seeking is to see the body and perform our traditional rite.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom Onibata here, the search has led us to Alagbole. We also went to Akintolu. It was when we got there that the residents in the area told us that the river did not flow to the area and that it diverted somewhere else. We have even extended our search to Kara, hoping to see him, but nothing came out of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a resident of the Onibata community told PUNCH of the danger the canal posed to them after several efforts to get the government\u2019s attention to help the community with a proper drainage system.<\/p>\n<p>The resident said, \u201cOver time, we have called the government\u2019s attention to all these things. It has been one promise after the other. When we get to the height of the rainy season, water always entered people\u2019s houses from the canal. Although the marking has been done by way of a barrier, work is yet to commence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the rainy season; government should come and do something before it gets to a stage where water will be carrying everybody away from their apartment. Sometimes, you see pythons and other reptiles entering people\u2019s homes. We hope they can expedite action on this canal. The makeshift bridge between Onibata and Ogundimu is no longer passable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When contacted, the spokesperson for the Lagos State Emergency Maintenance Agency, Nosa Okunbor, said the agency was not aware of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe family should have tried 767 immediately after the incident happened. I will call the control room if there is anything they could do about it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A four-year-old boy, Chukwuemeka Okoro, has been swept away by flood during a downpour in the Onibata community, Ogba area of Lagos.
