A three-year-old boy, Chibuike Uba, has lost his life after falling into an open soakaway at Babarinsa in the Ibeju Lekki area of Lagos State.
It was reported that the incident occurred on Wednesday when the boy’s mother, Utoro, visited her aunt in the community.
It was gathered that Utoro, who resides in the Epe area of the state, was packing her belongings and preparing to leave when her son left her in the room to meet her aunt who stepped out to make a phone call.
However, when her aunt returned, Uba asked about the child’s whereabouts, only to realise he was nowhere to be found.
In a frantic search, Uba spotted her son’s slippers near the open soakaway on the next compound and raised the alarm.
The bereaved mother said Chibuike was rushed to a nearby hospital at the Sapati area of the community and later referred to the General Hospital at Akodo.
She said he was placed on oxygen but was later confirmed dead by doctors on duty.
