Narrating the incident to ClassFMonline.com’s Elikem Adiku, an eyewitness, and a work colleague of the deceased who gave his name as Essilfie said: "During the rain, the deceased, whose room usually gets flooded when it rains, brought out his belongings after which he went to help a group of men to salvage a kiosk which was being washed away by the floods.
