The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the incident happened at Yagba West Local Government Area of Kogi at about 4.30 p.m. on Friday.
Mr Kolawale, however, confirmed that one of the five occupants in the car escaped death as he swam to safety, aided by a fisherman, who unfortunately himself drowned.“The five of them were coming from Oga Community on their way to Lokoja but unfortunately just along the canal, where there is a very sharp corner, they lost control and went straight into the canal.“The fifth person that died was a good samaritan, a fisherman, who tried to save them but died in the process,” he told NAN.
The chairman appealed to the road users, especially motorists, to drive with care and avoid speed violations while plying that very road. Mr Dawulung said that the road was not a conventional one but that because of the advantage it offered to travellers as a short route, they kept plying it.
