File photo According to a report by Vanuard, serious tragedy struck at Ureje area of Ado-Ekiti over the weekend, as two secondary school students died inside a river while swimming. A source who craved anonymity told reporters on Sunday that the deceaseds who were students of Ado Grammar school located along Ado-Ijan road, died at a deeper portion of Ureje river, which stretched from Ajilosun and flowed down to Odo Ado region of the capital city. About seven students were reported to have scaled the fence when academic works were ongoing to swim in the river, where two of them were drowned. “The academic works were ongoing when they left school. They went to the deeper side of Ureje river to swim and two of them were trapped in the mud and died. “Those on the river cliff had to run to a farmer working around the river. It was the man who called on some swimmers farming in the area to come and rescue two that were still afloat before bringing out those that were already deadâ€. Some people who were farming around the bank of the river ran to the school to report the incident to the teachers, the development was said to have evoked cries and wailings among the staff and students. When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Ekiti Command, DSP Caleb Ikechukwu, said the corpses of the dead students had been deposited in the morgue. Ikechukwu said other students who were part of the swimming expedition would help the police in conducting thorough investigation into the pathetic incident.
