Two pupils of Royal Kings Foundation Nursery and Primary School, Nkpor-Agu in Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra State today lost their lives as a result of an overhead tank filled with water which fell into their classroom.

Also, two other pupils of the school sustained varying degrees of injuries as a result of the incident.
