Uniuyo Student drowns at Pool Party.

A 100-level Political Science and Public Administration student of the University of Uyo identified as Kingsley Etim has drowned in a pool at a hotel in Uyo.

The incident occurred at about 9pm on Saturday night at De Vegas Paradise, venue of the Pool Party.

According to an eyewitness who pleaded anonymity, the deceased was found when one of his colleagues spotted someone in the pool long after everyone else had left the pool.

"When I and my friends were about leaving the event before they locked our hostel, we heard someone had drowned in the pool. I was shocked because there was no sign of such and everyone had left the pool a long time before then".

"No one noticed him drowning. Maybe because it was already dark and there was loud music. When he was brought out, people tried to revive him but it was all in vain" she said.

Inside Uniuyo gathered that deceased was later rushed to the University of Uyo Health Centre, where he was confirmed dead before arrival.

Only him na students

The govt should ensure that public pools employ the services of a lifeguard.All these needless drowning incidents is avoidable.
