Federal capital territory Abuja last Thursday, August
17th. Angry residents of the community hit the streets to stage a

white SUV when the flood submerged the bridge he was driving on,

Eye witnesses say the man had
been warned not to drive through the bridge due to the overflowing
stream but he refused. Their corpse was later found in the middle of a
stream and deposited at the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi. The protesting
residents are calling for a better drainage system in the area.
