The torrential downpour which has been inundating the city of Calabar and environs in the past three days on Friday night pulled down a house and killed a father and four of his children.
The tragedy happened at Ikot Anwatim in Ikot Ansa, a suburb of Calabar to the north. An eyewitness who gave her name as Asa said the sight was so horrifying she had to leave the place.
“Neighbours came out this morning to behold the horrible sight and were helping to remove the bodies from under the rubble. The sight was too much for me I had to leave the place”.
A torrential downpour has been lashing Calabar for three days non-stop, effectively leaving many parts of the city like Uwanse, Mayne Avenue, Palm Street, Mortala Mohammed Highway, and 8Miles, heavily flooded.
