Flood occasioned by heavy rainfall on Wednesday evening swept away a 13-year-old girl in Awka, Anambra State capital. The girl, whose guardian operates a food stall along Ziks Avenue, Awka, was trying to rescue their wheelbarrow, which was being carried away by flood, when she mistakenly missed her step and fell into a drainage. A source who witnessed the incident said the girl was immediately swept away by the fast moving tide of the flood, and her body was eventually found down the road.
