The milieu in the Orimade, Zion quarters of Ondo town, the headquarters of Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State, is still gloomy following the death of three underage girls, who drowned while
swimming in Oluwa River in the community.
It was gathered that the young girls went to the river to swim out of boredom since schools in the state were also under lock and key to curb the spread of the deadly virus. He noted that his family recently moved to the area few months before the incident and had never seen his child around the river let alone go swimming.
Also, another parent of one of the girls, Mr Ajayi Olusegun, lamented that he and his entire family were still in shock over the death of his eight-year-old daughter. He expressed surprise that his daughter was among the girls who went to the river to swim, stating that she was an introvert and not outgoing.
She said, “On that day after she finished eating, I sent her on an errand to buy recharge card and a blade we wanted to use to cut her hair. She went and returned with the change. I asked her to keep it, that we would use it to buy something later. That was my last encounter with her. I didn’t know she later went out to swim with other girls.
