A 16-year-old girl, Praise Malachi, has lost her life in flooding while rushing home to check her Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results, which her friends told her were excellent.
Praise was a final year student of Government Day Secondary school, Samaru, Zaria, who bagged scholarship from the Centre of Girls Education Zaria to further her education because of her brilliant performance.
Her father, Emmanuel Malachi, said, “It was around 6pm after rainfall, when my daughter’s friends came to my shop and informed her that her SSCE results were out and that she performed excellently well.
