He related to Adom News that because of the severe rains, the students were confined, and information was conveyed to the parents so that they could collect their children from the school grounds.
After the rain stopped, the victim and two of her siblings decided to walk home, but while they were doing so, the victim and her siblings all ended up falling into a flooded gutter.
Witnesses pulled her from the flood waters, and after her rescue, she was as soon as possible taken to the hospital.
Before her arrival at the Bibiani Government Hospital, a medical professional pronounced her dead.
After that, the body of the deceased person was placed in the mortuary of the hospital with the consent of the deceased person's parents while the police inquiry got underway.
