Nine members of the National Youth Service Corps who are currently serving in Taraba State on Saturday drowned in River Mayo-Selbe in Gashaka Local government Area.

Taraba State Police Command Police Public Relations Officer, ASP David Missal, who confirmed the death of nine out of the 22 corps members who were swimming in River Mayo-Selbe said seven corpses have so far been recovered from the incident.

“Information available revealed that 22 youth corps members had gone on a picnic party in River Mayo-Selbe in Gashaka LGA on Saturday when the incident happened.

“We were made to understand that while they were swimming in the river, there was sudden upsurge in the volume of water, which carried them away.

“Nine of them drowned, while others managed to escape.

“We have so far recovered seven corpses, while the search for the two remaining corpses is still in progress,” Missal said.

State NYSC Coordinator, Mrs. Florence Yaakugh, also confirmed the incident, which she described as “most unfortunate.”

Yaakugh also confirmed that seven bodies have been recovered, while the search for the other two bodies was still ongoing by the locals in collaboration with security agencies and the NYSC.

“It’s a very sad development and we would soon have the identity of all the corps members involved in the accident and make such information known appropriately.

“We have very sketchy information indicating that about nine of our corps members drowned in Gashaka yesterday.

“So far, seven bodies have been recovered and we are working with relevant persons to recover the rest of the bodies and to identify them.

“This is a very sad development and the entire NYSC family in Taraba State is already thrown into deep mourning,” she said.

Are there no swimming pools in Taraba that you now had to get into that murky river whose depth you didn't know and neither did you know if it harboured crocodiles?

That's a very careless waste of lives. RIP.

The same story twice on fp? One mod don high this early morning

We will ban them using Rule 18. They have bn doing this frequently these days. Incompetence should not be tolerated in this forum.

swimming is a necessary skill, go and learn how to swim.

people should be taught life skills during youth service and not taught how to participate in orgiess.

Jesus this is my friend Chike,he finished from Uniben ,banking and finance,Why na!!!!
God why does the good die young?

I always tell people, when you are sent on a mission dont lose focus. They were sent to serve in the NYSC scheme but decided to be carrying babes and swimming in the river. See what now happened.
