The body of Motunrayo John, a student of Mount Carmel Girls Secondary, Ikare- Akoko, who was swept away by flood, has been found.
Her lifeless body was found at the back of a hotel in Ugbe-Akoko, in the Akoko Northeast local government after three days of intense search.
The student was swept away by a heavy flood during a downpour on her way home from school.
The Divisional Police Officer for Ikare Akoko, Olatujoye Akinwale who confirmed the discovery said the body had been released to the family for burial.
Motunrayo’s father, Ade John, a commercial motorcyclist from Iboropa Akoko, described his daughter’s passing as “shocking,” “sad,” and “devastating.”
He recounted how he gave the deceased N200 as transport fare from Ikare to Iboropa on the fateful day as he would not be available to pick her home but was later informed about the ugly development.
Late Motunrayo was regarded by her father as a good and responsible child who constantly helped the parents out with a lot of household duties.
