An eyewitness account revealed that
one of the deceased girls slipped into the ditch abandoned during mining
activities in the area and as the two other girls tried to rescue their friend
from the ditch they too equally fell into the ditch which had served as
the major source of water to Umuigboke community of Oriuzor even though the
Local Government Council have constructed manual boreholes for the community.

man. No suspect have been arrested in connection with the death of the girls.
