Okechukwu Osadebe, the 18-year-old son of late highlife maestro, Osita Osadebe, has lost his life in a flood disaster in Ogbaru local government area of Anambra.
NAN reports that the teenager died on Thursday in Osadebe’s Atani country home in Ogbaru when he was swept away by the flood at about 7:30pm.
Amaechi Osadebe, mother of the deceased, told NAN that Okechukwu was returning home with two other persons when flash flood overwhelmed them.
She explained that it was due to high current and turbulence of the water wave that made it difficult for the other two young boys to pull him out of the water.
Arinzechukwu Awogu, the transition chairman of Ogbaru, who visited the family, described the death as a tragedy to the whole Ogbaru community.
