A car that crashed into a river on Friday in the Akerebiata neighbourhood of Ilorin, Kwara State, left at least two people dead, according to official reports.

The incident was confirmed in a statement released on Saturday in Ilorin by Mr. Hassan Adekunle, the Kwara State Fire Service’s head of media and publicity.
The two bodies and a Toyota Yaris with the licence plate APP544E, according to him, were found in the river next to Olusola Saraki Abattoir in the state capital.

Adekunle said: “Rumour had it that the incident occurred during the Friday night downpour when the victims were struggling to drive through the bridge and suddenly got stuck by the flood which pushed them into the river.

“In truth, the rescue effort was a joint operation because all the people in the neighbourhood gave their full support to the firemen throughout the operation.”

He advised the general public to always avoid driving during a heavy downpour.
