OH NO! ! Lifeless Body Of PREGNANT Woman Found In Ebonyi; See What Happened To Her STOMACH [Video]
A devastating flood has ravaged the communities of Inyimagu and Ekpa- Omaka in Ikwo local government area of Ebonyi State, resulting in the death of a 21- year- old pregnant woman, Mrs. Ozoemena Ugbaga, and leaving three others missing.
According to the State’ s Commissioner for Human Capital Development, Mrs. Ann Aligwe, the flood affected various communities in the state, including Unagoke, Mgbo- Mgbaja, and Onuebia in Onuebonyi axis of Izzi local government area, as well as Igbudu and Ekpa- Omaka communities in Ikwo local government area.
Mrs. Aligwe confirmed that the deceased, who was a mother of three, and the missing persons were swept away by the floodwaters. She added that the state government had been urging people living around the waterways to relocate to other areas or the IDP camps, but unfortunately, the people did not adhere to the warnings.
The Commissioner expressed regrets over the loss of life and properties, stating that the state government had commenced distribution of relief materials to the affected persons. She also noted that the Governor, Francis Nwifuru, had mandated the Ministry to communicate the incident to the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) for possible distribution of relief materials to the affected victims.
The flood has left many families displaced and without access to basic necessities like food, water, and shelter. The state government has set up an IDP camp to accommodate the displaced persons, but more needs to be done to address the situation.
The incident highlights the need for improved flood control measures and emergency preparedness in the state. The government must take proactive steps to prevent such disasters in the future and provide adequate support to affected communities.
In addition, the incident underscores the importance of adhering to warnings and guidelines issued by authorities during emergencies. The people living around the waterways must be educated on the dangers of flooding and the need to relocate to safer areas during heavy rainfall.
The state government’ s response to the disaster has been commendable, but more needs to be done to address the long- term effects of the flood on the affected communities. The government must work with relevant agencies and stakeholders to provide sustainable solutions to the affected communities and prevent future occurrences.
