Tragedy struck yesterday when a 15 year old boy (ame withheld) drowned while playing football at community primary school in Umuguma opposite Owerri West (orie ukwu) headquarters office.
Trouble started when their football fell into the burrow pit situated at the school premises as he attempts to get it but unfortunately he was not aware that the death trap was over grown with weed and also very deep and filled with water.
Effort to rescue the deceased proved abortive. It was about twenty minutes later that a man had the courage to dive into the pit and pulled the boy out.
The said burrow pit was dug as a result of the bad state of the road leading to Okuku autonomous community from Umuguma which has disrupted commercial activities as there is no gutter to channel the water especially when it rains.
