The police in Ekiti State on Monday said that they had begun investigation into the death of four persons who drowned at a river at Okemesi Ekiti in the Ekiti West Local Government area of Ekiti State.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Ekiti State Command, Sunday Abutu, said the four persons were said to have gone to swim in the river on Sunday.

Abutu stated, “A distress report received on November 10, 2024, has it that on the same date, a 23-year-old and a 25-year-old, both natives of Okemesi Ekiti, went to River Osun Ajindo/Ido Ile Road to swim alongside two of their friends who came from Lagos State to attend a burial ceremony which took place at Okemesi.

“The four young men unfortunately got drowned. Their bodies have been recovered and deposited in the morgue, while investigation is underway,” the police spokesperson said.

Sources in the town said two of the victims were from the community while the remaining two who went to the river to swim with them came from Lagos for a social function in the community.

A source said, “The incident threw the community into panic and mourning. Imagine four persons dead in the circumstance. May God prevent such unfortunate occurrence in our dear community.”
