Late James Odibo
Coursemates of the deceased who lamented the unfortunate incident described Late James as a loving and playful fellow.

One of his friends (and probably an eyewitness) who took to their class Whatsapp group said the incident was quite unfortunate and could have been avoided.

According to him, he (James) and his team have been visiting the river for 3days. For some weird reasons, he decided to venture deep inside the river, which he eventually drowned.

“It is just crazy why one would decide to swim in one of the biggest River in Nigeria, a highly diabolic one for that matter”, he lamented.

“It was just sudden. He just went down, no struggle, no shout.

“Local fishermen found his body two hours after the incident”, he added.

The body of late James has since been deposited in Madonna Hospital, Makurdi, Premium Times reports.

Until his death, James was a 200level student of the department of Medical Laboratory Science, school of Basic Medical Sciences, University of Benin.

Unconfirmed reports has it that James was born Twin. His twin brother who was said to have collapsed on hearing the ugly incident, is currently recuperating at the hospital.

RIP to English

sad story

Somethings just outwit logic.
Death is too rude. It has no respect at all.
Every meat is consumable.

Honestly, one has to be careful these days because anything can lead to death. Feel sorry for his family, May God console them.

Jesus Jesus Jesus.. I know him very well.. he is a twin.. we used to attend the same church.. redeem, rose of Sharon Parish in BDPA..OMG!!!! He was a very quiet and intelligent kid.. ..RIP

So sad. RIP

Obviously, youthful exuberance cost him his life. But what is this diabolical nonsense in the report? Nollywood and Irikerido Akolawuyi have really fed us with so much superstitions that we are quick to ascribe this sheer folly to supernatural causes. The guy had a cavalier attitude to his safety and he paid dearly for it.

RIP bro,we have to be care with our adventures..lots of mysterious things happen in that river.You hardly see a BSU/UAM student swim there cos they know the river better.

So sad and unfortunate.......
Don't play water.....it like a spirit.
Once you loose balance......u got yourself to be blame.
