Three die, 1,000 passengers stranded in Kwara downpour.

Date: 2014-04-11

About three people including two children and a young person have drowned after heavy downpour on Wednesday night in Ilorin, the Kwara State capital.

The rain started at about 11pm lasted for some hours.

Properties worth several millions of naira were destroyed. About 25 cars were swept away from where they were parked.

The flood also cut off a large chunk of soil from beneath the rail track of the Nigeria Railway Corporation, cutting through the road thereby making it impassable for the train. A section of the rail track behind Kingdom Heritage Secondary school was also affected.

Consequently no fewer than 1000 passengers on a train travelling from Lagos to the northern part of the country were stranded.

Our correspondent who visited the affected areas on Thursday observed that relatives of the dead victims mourned while other victims that lost their valuables lamented their losses.
