TWO NIGERIAN STUDENT'S GOT DROWN IN GHANA:
for an excursion to the volta region of Ghana on the 23rd of this
month (Saturday).
Read the story of an executive that planned the event:
I'm a student of the school and also among the executives. When we
got to the resort, which is Afrikiko at Akosombo.
We were making arrangements with the management of the place on how to
reduce the price of the facilities there. This time, some students
were playing volleyball, some football, some around the pool , some
table tennis and others dancing. The management said, its 20 cedis to
eat, 20 cedis to swim and 10 cedis to cruise the boat. Charles,
Demola, Michael, Bright and Edwards entered a fisherman's canoe to
cross the river for the amount of 5 cedis each. They were almost at
the other side when the both capsized. Bright is from Rivers state and
he can swim. Demola and Michael managed to save themselves but Charles
and Edwards died. It was just impatience that killed these guys.
Besides, you know you don't know how to swim, you are entering a
fishermans boat that doesn't have a life jacket. The fisherman ran
away but he was found about two villages away. The situation right now
is that their relatives are around and are planning on how to take
their bodies to Nigeria."
It was one of the most anticipated events of the semester as most of
the students from knusford and other schools rushed the ticket,when
they finally arrived there was a river that served as a barrier and
whilst the Management that brought them and other students were still
trying to arrange for a speed boat to get there, looking at the
limited amount of the boats and the price, they decided to talk to a
fisherman to take them to the other side with his canoe, they managed
to convince the fisherman and the five of them went on board without
life jackets, when they were in the middle of the river the canoe
suddenly capsized, three out of the five boys were able to swim and
got out of the river, one of the survivors tried to rescue Charles but
he wasn't able to, so just three out of the five survived. The Canoe
man also in case you were wondering, he ran away but he has been
caught and must face justice.
May their souls rest in peace.
