A 10-year-old girl, Eniola Sodipo, has drowned in a well
while playing with other children in the neighbourhood. Eniola was enjoying her holidays with a family in the
compound located on Atanda Street, Mafolokun in Oshodi, Lagos State at the time.
In the morning of the incident, Monday 7th
September, the landlady had asked the children not to play around the well; but
they wouldn’t listen. Their happy playtime tumbled into panic mingled with
sadness as the little innocents watched in horror as their playmate, Eniola, fell
into the well as it’s wooden cover had caved in. They raised an alarm for
rescue. Alas! The rescue attempts were futile; they couldn’t save the little
girl.
The Director of Lagos State Fire Services, Rasak Fadipe, said
he got a distress call at 2:45. (The incident happened in the morning and no
one made any call until it was afternoon). He added that the lassie was dead by
the time they got there.
