13-year-old girl drowns in a swamp in Anambra(Photos)

Thirteen year-old girl drowns in the swamp of Obibia Stream at Nibo in Awka South Local Government Area.

The tragedy followed two days of heavy rainfall which flooded most areas in Awka and other parts of Anambra State.

The two days torrential rainfall kept many residents indoors, flooded streets, homes and disrupted economic and social activities.

Some of the areas affected by the rain were the swamps at Agbani- Ezeoye village Nibo along Awka- Ekwulobia-Orlu Road.

The Peugeot 504 car carrying three children of the General Overseer of a Church in Adabebe- Amawbia, Pastor Samuel Dijeh was swept away as the flood ravaged its engine.

While the driver and the two boys in the car were rescued by divers, their teenage sister was drowned before the car was pulled out of the flood.

The driver of the car, Elder Ejike Anadebe said he followed a bus to cross the water before the vehicle was overwhelmed by the flood.

The State Commissioner for Works, Mr Marcel Ifejiofor who was at the scene of the incident, lamented the tragedy and assured that a consultant would be sent to study the terrain.

Today's prayer: Lord my God, I take refuge in you; save and deliver me from all who pursue me or they will tear me apart like a lion and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

Psalm 7

A shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lordconcerning Cush, a Benjamite.

1 Lord my God, I take refuge in you;
    save and deliver me from all who pursue me,
2 or they will tear me apart like a lion
    and rip me to pieces with no one to rescue me.

3 Lord my God, if I have done this
    and there is guilt on my hands—
4 if I have repaid my ally with evil
    or without cause have robbed my foe—
5 then let my enemy pursue and overtake me;
    let him trample my life to the ground
    and make me sleep in the dust.[c]

6 Arise, Lord, in your anger;
    rise up against the rage of my enemies.
    Awake, my God; decree justice.
7 Let the assembled peoples gather around you,
    while you sit enthroned over them on high.
8     Let the Lord judge the peoples.
Vindicate me, Lord, according to my righteousness,
    according to my integrity, O Most High.
9 Bring to an end the violence of the wicked
    and make the righteous secure—
you, the righteous God
    who probes minds and hearts.

10 My shield[d] is God Most High,
    who saves the upright in heart.
11 God is a righteous judge,
    a God who displays his wrath every day.
12 If he does not relent,
    he[e] will sharpen his sword;
    he will bend and string his bow.
13 He has prepared his deadly weapons;
    he makes ready his flaming arrows.

14 Whoever is pregnant with evil
    conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
15 Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out
    falls into the pit they have made.
16 The trouble they cause recoils on them;
    their violence comes down on their own heads.

17 I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;
    I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High.

Today's bible teaching: The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,the world, and all who live in it,, for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.

Psalm 24

Of David. A psalm.

1 The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it,
    the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it on the seas
    and established it on the waters.

3 Who may ascend the mountain of theLord?
    Who may stand in his holy place?
4 The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
    who does not trust in an idol
    or swear by a false god.[a]

5 They will receive blessing from theLord
    and vindication from God their Savior.
6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
    who seek your face, God of Jacob.[b][c]

7 Lift up your heads, you gates;
    be lifted up, you ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.
8 Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord strong and mighty,
    the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, you gates;
    lift them up, you ancient doors,
    that the King of glory may come in.
10 Who is he, this King of glory?
    The Lord Almighty—
    he is the King of glory
