ewwwww. Nawa oooo

Rivers student died in a river...
Don't leave me!

I just feel for his parents.

Baba don go.

May his soul rest in peace.

I also had a near-death experience in that SWIMMING POOL many years ago when I had barely finished my 600L degree examinations.

The SWIMMING POOL is abt. 50Meters Long.
Has got a Deep Head and Shallow Tail.
Deep Head is about 9 Ft deep.
Shallow Tail is about 3Ft deep.
It's an Olympic sized swimming pool and has got no Lifeguard expect for students with professional experience.
I would have been the 3rd corpse to be evacuated from that site, after 2 students who had already died at seperate intervals.

RIP,
It's really Unfortunate.

Nawa
