Four students drown in Lagos beach shortly after collecting their WAEC results from their school

Four students of the Kuramo Senior College in Lagos drowned in the Elegushi bar beach on August 16.

Eight of the students visited their school to collect their recently released West African Examination Council (WAEC) results.

Shortly after they collected their results, they decided to go to the beach along with one of their other friends.

Nine of them entered the beach. Sadly, four of them, two males and two females drowned. Three others fled the scene while two others aged 14 and 16 waited until the police came. They were able to provide the names of the victims.

The bodies of the students believed to have drowned are yet to be recovered, while efforts have been made to contact their families.
