Two people have lost their lives through drowning in a river at Ajumako Anyinesu in the Ajumako Enyan Essiam District of the Central Region.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on Wednesday, December 26, 2022.<\/p>\n

The first to die was a teenager who was chasing his slippers which was being carried away by the river. In an attempt to retrieve the slippers, he slipped and drowned.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

After the boy drowned, a man in the community boasted he could retrieve the body from the river.<\/p>\n

He then dived into the river in a bid to retrieve the body but he also got drowned.<\/p>\n

News got to the chief and elders of the town and about 10 youth were organised to search for the bodies.<\/p>\n

All efforts to find the bodies proved futile.<\/p>\n

The residents the next day Tuesday, December 27, 2022, after libations were performed, went to the river to search for the deceased.<\/p>\n
