Following yesterday's
Ocean surge at Kuramo Beach, 3 bodies, including that of a 6 year old child,
were recovered from Bar Beach today...making it a total of 6 bodies so far
recovered. At least 10 more are still missing.
The surge started on
Friday night but became dangerous at about 7 yesterday morning. The surge
leveled the Kuramo Beach and swept away fun seekers, fishermen and people
occupying illegal shanties at the beach front. Some environmental activists are
blaming the recent incident on the abandoned shipwrecks in the ocean. The surge
is one of the worst we've had in recent time.
Governor Fashola has
ordered the immediate demolition of structures at the beach and relocation of
residents who stay in the illegal shacks around the beach.
