Two teenagers have reportedly died in a swimming pool belonging to a hotel in Okhoro, in the Egor Local Government Area of Edo State.

The victims were identified as Ikponmwosa Isibor, 17, and 16-year- old Emmanuel Abuzu.

It was learnt that the deceased, who were friends, had paid to use the swimming pool before they reportedly drowned at about 4pm on Saturday.

It was gathered that the hotel, Okhoro Play House, said to be popular in the area, had been under lock and key since the incident occurred.

A source said some workers of the hotel had also been taken to the Okhoro Police Station for interrogation.

A worker at the hotel, who did not give his name, said the matter was being investigated by the police.

He said, “ The police are already handling the matter. I think you should speak with them.”

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Moses Nkombe, told our correspondent on Wednesday, that he was not aware of the incident, saying he was away on an official assignment.

It was, however, learnt that the case had been transferred to the homicide department of the state police command.

Msns

As a popular pool, that hotel is supposed to have life guards on stand-by whether or not they're having a busy day at the pool It could have been prevented if there was a lifeguard to save them or at least raise alarm so they can be saved on time.

People that visit the pool have to observe the rules and know their limits. As a learner myself, nothing fit carry me go the deep part of pool.

RIP, Feel sorry for their parents.

May their soul Rest In Peace

Ok

Everyone of us will surely die one day but how we will die is unknown to us.
