A Nigerian Lady identified as Adewura Bello, who was declared missing by her family on May 15, has been found dead in a canal in Lagos, Nigeria’s commercial city.

Naija News understands that the deceased, a 26-year-old accounting graduate of the University of Lagos (UNILAG), was said to have gone missing on Wednesday after she boarded a bus from Ikeja to Egbeda, where she lives.

Adewura’s sister, Fadesola, said that the last time she heard from the deceased was when she told her she was on her way home.

“I spoke with her around 7 pm on Wednesday. She works at Ikeja and she told me she was on her way home. Then, when it was raining around 7:55 pm, I called again. This time it rang but she did not pick. So, I assumed it was the rain.

“But we did not see her after the rain and the next time I tried her number, it said it was unavailable and later said switched off,” Fadesola had said.

Giving an update on the situation, a cousin to the deceased, Benjamin, tweeted on Sunday that Adewura’s body has been found in a canal.

Another Twitter user, @Onaolapofarouq, confirmed Adewura’s death saying: “Thanks for the search. Adewura is dead. “Negligence by the relevant authorities, as usual. An unnecessary death due to an open manhole during a storm. Manhole was left open but fully covered with flood, she and the bike man missed it due to bad visibility. She wasn’t aware.”
