A heavy early morning downpour led to trees falling which left four people dead in a popular market in Jattu, Etsako West local government area.
Though some people claim the deaths recorded were up to ten, the Chairman of the council, Mr. Marvellous Zibiri confirmed the death of the person while speaking to newsmen at the market.
The Chairman said, “At about 9a.m on Monday, I got a call from my Vice Chairman and the Supervisory Councilor for Environment about the incident.
“During the rain, four trees in the market fell simultaneously while people took cover under the trees thereby killing four persons and many injured.”
