It can be recalled that the tragic incident occurred when Mr. Baba and his five children were returning home from their farm in Obagaji.
Their boat, reportedly overloaded, capsized midstream, throwing all six occupants into the river.
While Mr. Baba narrowly survived, all five of his children drowned before help could reach them.
In a press statement signed by his Chief Press Secretary, Amb. Obochi Solomon, the chairman described the incident as “unfortunate, heart-wrenching, and painful.”
He expressed profound grief over the loss and commended local volunteers for their efforts in the rescue and recovery operations.
Ejeh prayed for God to console the bereaved family and give them the strength to bear the irreparable loss, while also urging residents to adhere to safety measures when using waterways to prevent future tragedies.
