A 12-year-old boy drowned while swimming with a friend in the Ife Obara Basin near Aba in Abia State State.

Towncrieronline.Net learned he was pronounced dead at the hospital, after an Hausa man was persuaded to fetch him out of the water.

According to online reports, the boy's friend ran away from the scene of the basin, where children come to swim normally.

The boy is the only son of his family, as shared by Clinton Paul, who writes ...
