A young man has been found along the East-West Road, three days after flood reportedly carried him away.
GoldenNewsNg reports that according to community manager, Akpos Malafakumo Best, the man was found alive in the same spot in Bayelsa after he hung onto a stick in the water for days before he was discovered.
The engineer shared photos showing when rescuers evacuated the stranded man with the use of a canoe.
Malafakumo wrote; ”This young man was swept away by the water current at this very spot East-West Road 3days ago.
He had been in the water holding onto a stick for 3 days and night, only to be rescued today alive. Please, don’t travel East-West & Ugheli-Bayelsa roads for now.”
