AWKA — A commercial tricycle operator was feared dead while roofs and walls of several buildings were destroyed after a rainstorm wreaked havoc across parts of Anambra State on Monday night.
The heavy downpour, which lasted for several hours, also flooded several roads, creating fresh gullies in erosion-prone areas and leaving some routes impassable.
The tricycle operator was reportedly swept away by floodwater in Awka while attempting to rescue a woman during the downpour.
His lifeless body was later discovered around Miracle Junction in the Ifite area of Awka, hours after he was swept away near the Book Foundation area of the state capital.
