A ‘Good Samaritan’ has reportedly drowned in Akure, Ondo State capital while trying to rescue a pregnant woman from being swept away in flood after a downpour.
Sunday Vanguard gathered that the incident happened on Friday at Eyin Ala area of Akure.
Pregnant-mother
The ‘Good Samaritan’, whose identity could be ascertained, met his untimely death after he rescued the woman who had fallen into the river during the downpour.
An eyewitness said that, during the downpour, “the whole area was flooded and the pregnant woman was passing by when she fell into a flooded gutter but the ‘Good Samaritan’ rushed to her and saved her from slipping into the river.
“ As she was struggling to get out of the flooded gutter, the man (deceased) rushed to the woman and rescued her from being swept into the river but, unfortunately, the woman was rescued while the rescuer was swept away by the flood,”
Ondo State Police Command spokesman, Femi Joseph, who confirmed the incident, said the police had commenced investigation into the matter.
“ We are yet to identify the deceased but we have recovered the corpse and investigation has begun,”Joseph said.
Meanwhile, the corpse was said to have been deposited at the State Specialist Hospital, Akure morgue for autopsy.

Mystery fire razed over 200 shops erected on the rubble of the earlier burnt Jos main market, Plateau State.
The cause of the fire, officials and the victims could not say, but, while some people said the fire started at about 1.30am, the state Fire Service said it got a call around 12.30am and got to the scene at about 12.45am. The affected shops deal mostly in second-hand clothing, bags, shoes, among others.
At the time Sunday Vanguard visited the market at about 8am, yesterday, smoke was still emitting from the area though the state Fire Service had battled to put out the flames and some shop owners were seen in groups discussing the incident while some were searching through the rubbles to see what they could salvage.
Speaking at the scene, the state Commissioner of Police, Adie Undie, the Management Committee Chairman of Jos North local government area, Mr. Philip Nyam, and the Chairman, Traders’ Association, Abdulrahman Yussuf explained what they knew about the incident.
According to the CP, “This incident happened in the wee hours. My DPO in-charge of this area got a report and he promptly alerted me and we equally alerted the state Fire Service and they too did not waste time. They mobilized their men but because of the location of this point of incident, it made it difficult for the Fire Service to promptly put out the fire and avoid the kind of damage that we have here.
The Deputy Director of the state Fire Service, Mr. Samuel Musa, said, “Our men were called around 12.45am to a scene of fire within the premises of the former burnt down Main market, the Terminus area, there are some makeshifts shops they made there and they are selling second hand clothes majorly around that area. It is in the second hand cloth section that the fire started, since around 1.45am up to 10.15 am that our men disengaged, they were able to control the fire. The severity of the situation is yet to be assessed; we are going there to assess the situation.”
The Committee Chairman of Jos North, Mr. Nyam, whose local government hosts the market, added, “My attention was drawn around 2am about this incident. My heart goes out to the traders who lost their valuables and we appreciate the swift response of the Fire Service and the Police who have been on top of the situation since the incident happened. You can see they have cordoned-off the area to avoid situation where looting will take place. Again, the Fire Service has done much to contain the situation, you can see the market is large but they salvage the situation by their timely response, you can see their efforts”.

A Great Event To Attend This July_Festival Of Hymns (Details)
By Unknown - Thursday, July 19, 2018
The singing of Hymns has been a part of the Christian tradition since the days of Moses down to the early church. Festival of Hymns is an exclusive hymns concert that merges the different genres and styles of music into hymns. It seeks to bring believers of all ages and denominational backgrounds to an evening of songs that have stood the test of time and seasons.
The concert is aimed at bringing us to remembrance of the songs that brought us here and the spirit behind the songs as well as propel us into a deeper level of communion with God.
There is a philosophy or concept called ancient futures, which suggests that everything has to come back to its point of origin. In order words there is a life cycle to everything on the earth. Someone once said "we won’t know what is going to come in the future if we don’t know what has transpired in the past". All in Hymns is a journey back to the future.
The event is for men of all backgrounds and ages, both believers and not yet believers.
The concert will bring to the remembrance of the people songs of adoration and prayers to spark up a fresh and deeper level of communion with the divine and in turn giving us hope and faith for the days ahead. As you become more fragile, you reflect and you realize how much comfort can come from the past. Hymns can carry you into the future." -
The Ministers lined up for this event are some of Jos finest gospel ministers drawn from different denominational backgrounds and spiritual adventures with different styles and approach to music and hymns in particular.
