Scene of the incident
The residents of the Ijetu area of Osogbo have
been thrown into mourning following the
discovery of the corpses of two pupils on the
Osun River.

It was gathered that a woman had gone to the
river to fetch water when she found the corpses
of the two pupils floating on the river.
A resident of the area told our correspondent on
Thursday that the woman dropped her bucket
and ran back to the community where she raised
the alarm.

It was learnt that the matter was later reported to
the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps and
a rescue team from the agency was deployed in
the scene.

It was gathered that the pupils had gone missing
on Monday, while their parents and other
relatives had been looking for them.

The parents were said to have broken down in
tears on seeing the corpses of their children on
Wednesday when their bodies were recovered.
The pupils were identified as Samson Obasanjo
and Kabiru, pupils of Junior Secondary School 2
at Ife-Oluwa Middle School, Osogbo.

Some persons said one of the two victims was
going to a bakery where he normally worked
after school hours when the incident happened.
But our correspondent, who visited the school
gathered that seven pupils had gone to the area
where the incident happened to pluck some fruits.
One of the victims was said to have jumped inside
the river to swim to the other side of the river
where a cherry tree was, but did not come out.
It was learnt that after a while,the second victim
reportedly jumped inside the river to see why the
first had not come out and he too disappeared.
The remaining five pupils were said to have
waited for the two victims to come out, but after
the duo did not come out, they were said to have
sworn to an oath that they would not disclose
what happened to their colleagues to anybody.
A resident of the area told our correspondent that
students of the school and other public schools
around the area were known for truancy.

The Head, Disaster Rescue Team of the NSCDC in
Osun State, Mr. Olufemi Awofade, who confirmed
the incident to our correspondent, said the team
had removed the corpses of the pupils.
He said after recovering the corpses of the pupils,
their parents took charge and called the
worshipers of Osun goddess to perform some
rites on them before burial at the riverbank.
Awofade said, “We got a call that a certain
woman went to fetch water at the Osun River on
Wednesday and she saw corpses on the water.”
The principals of School 2 and School 3 at Ife-
Oluwa Middle School declined comment.The two
principals told our correspondent, who visited the
school, that “we don’t grant press interviews.”
