In Edo State, residents of Uselu community in Egor local government area on Tuesday protested the death of a six-year old pupil during flood after a downpour which lasted many hours.
The protesters blocked the busy Uselu-Lagos road with bonfires while motorists were made to take other routes to Ugbowo and the Kings Square.
Sign boards of the Edo State government in the area were pulled down by the angry protesters.
They said their anger stemmed from the inability of the State Government to send its officials to help find the body of the pupil simply identified as Segun.
Leader of the protesters, Mr. Oni Enoma, said the drainage was a death trap and a nightmare to them whenever it rains.
According to him, โA woman and her baby fell into the gutter. They were dragged out but the baby fell inside.
But we have not been able to find the body of the boy.
โWe were surprised that nothing has been done by the fire fighters to find the body.
The late Segun and his mother, whose name was given as Latifat, were walking home after school hours when they slipped into an open drainage at the Omosogie junction along the Bรฉnin-Uselu road.
Policemen were on ground to prevent any break down of law and order.
Governor Godwin Obaseki commiserated with the family of the deceased Obaseki described his death as disheartening.
He said: โAs a government, we are deeply saddened by the report of the Uselu flood incident and the death of the young male pupil identified as Segun. I share with the parents and other members of his family in their grief,โ a visibly shaken Governor Obaseki said at the emergency Executive Council meeting held at the Government House in Benin City on Tuesday.
