The body of an unidentified adult male, who drowned while riding on a jet ski at the Lekki-Ikoyi inland waterways in Lagos State on Wednesday has been recovered.
He said, “Emergency responders found the body on Friday morning with the help of locals in the area. When the locals saw the body, they informed us and we went there to identify and recover it. It has been handed over to the marine police.”
The LASWA boss said the identity of the deceased was not ascertained before it was taken to the marine police. He said, “We did not have the details of the victim before we gave the body to the marine police. They will carry out an investigation on his identity.” However, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, could not be reached for a reaction, as calls made to his mobile phone were not responded to. He had yet to reply to a text message sent to him as of the time this report was filed.All rights reserved.
