The dead body of 26-year-old Adewura Latifat Bello who was declared missing about a week ago, has been discovered in a canal in Lagos.
Recall, that the lady’s family had reported that she went missing on Wednesday, May 15, after leaving her place of work. She had reportedly told her sister that she was at Cement bus stop on her way home around 7:00pm.
However some Twitter users who gave an update today, confirmed that the body of missing Adewura was found in canal in Lagos. Twitter user @Drolufunmilayo wrote;

It has been gathered that a manhole covered by flood and government’s negligence led to Adewura’s death.
Some Twitter users who tweeted about the incident, revealed that the manhole which was covered by flood was not quite visible to the bikeman who got trapped in it alongside the deceased.

So on this missing lady’s issue, heard some guys talking about a lady that got swept away around that mosan canal area during d heavy downpour on Wednesday, heard d lady was on bike, the description of the lady match Wura’s identity,.I heard people told d bike man not to pass…
That place cos it was flooded, but refused and went ahead, fell and the lady was swept away but the bikeman survived, he was caught and taken to moshalashi police station, so I urge the family members to pls go to moshalashi police station to pls confirm d identity of the lady

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.”
Recall, a man had alleged that Adewura was kidnapped by his neighbors and demanded money from the family to reveal her location.
