Omaha Burke High School shooting update: Police respond as one injured; first details on injured out
A shooting incident near Omaha Burke High School Wednesday morning left one person injured.
The Anambra State Police Command has issued a flood alert to parents, guardians, and caregivers in the wake of recent heavy rainfall and flooding in parts of the state. This advisory comes after the tragic death of a school pupil, Success Ezenwafor, who was swept away by floodwaters while on his way to school in Isiagu, Awka South Local Government Area.
Success Ezenwafor was on a school bus that was trapped and overturned by the rising floodwaters. Fortunately, nine other occupants of the vehicle—including seven schoolchildren and two adults—were rescued alive by the police and taken to Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital in Amaku, Awka. However, Success was swept away by the flood and was only recovered the following morning.
The state police command's spokesman, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, made the announcement in a statement on Wednesday, urging parents and caregivers to exercise heightened vigilance and take necessary precautions to protect schoolchildren given the persistent rainfall and flooding.
