Hours after a Toyota Hilux van plunged into the Majidun River in Ikorodu, Lagos State, killing four persons believed to be inside it, including the manager of the elite Ikoyi Golf Club, Lagos, Mr. Kolawole Ahmed, in the wee hours of Saturday, the rescue team yesterday recovered Ahmed's body.
The rescue team comprised personnel of the Nigerian Navy (NN), National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) and the state police command who were assisted by local divers.
The four persons were in a Hilux pick-up van with registration number KSF918AU belonging to Ahmed when they met their death. We gathered that Ahmed alongside the other three occupants were on their way back from the golf club when the van plunged into the river at about 5.20am. Although the cause of the accident was yet to be ascertained as at press time, it could be as a result of poor visibility.
While Ahmed's body has been recovered and identified, the bodies of the three other occupants of the van were yet to be found as at press time.
