Sunday, May 18, 2025 - A 2-year-old girl, Fortress Isiza, is still missing after she was swept away by floodwater caused by heavy rainfall in Boji-Boji, Agbor, in Ika North Local Government Area of Delta State.
The unfortunate incident occurred around 7 a.m. on Tuesday
morning, May 13, 2025.
Fortress, the daughter of Mrs. Naomi Isiza, the Assistant
Headmistress of Christi Angels Elementary/Nursery School, celebrated her second
birthday just two months ago.
It was gathered that Mrs. Isiza was riding her motorcycle
with her two children on their way to school when she accidentally rode into an
uncovered drainage at the junction of Deeper Life Street off Old Lagos/Asaba
Road in Boji-Boji Owa, adjacent to her school, and they all fell.
In an instant, Fortress was swept away by the floodwater.
Witnesses rushed to assist Mrs. Isiza and were able to save
both her and her son, but baby Fortress was missing.
According to Ika Newspaper, the location, known for being a
d3ath trap, has claimed many lives in the past including that of a primary four
pupil, Favour Chukwuemeke, on November 3, 2023 due to hazardous flooding
created by heavy rain.
As of the time of this report, little Fortress remains
missing, despite intensified efforts to locate her.
