The river behind the village
Two brothers, Joshua and Samson, have drowned in a river in Robukya community in Kwali Ward in Kuje Area Council of the FCT.
A relation of the deceased, Musa Abednego, who confirmed the incident to our reporter on Thursday, said it happened on Tuesday around 9am while they were crossing the river.
He said the brothers, Joshua and Samson, were between the ages of nine and 12 and that they were on their way to the farm when the incident happened.
He explained that the victims got drowned following a heavy rainfall which made the river to overflow.
He said, “Their father asked them to hold on after the rain subsided. Unfortunately, they left home to the farm without him knowing.”
Abednego said their corpses were recovered on Wednesday around 4pm through the help of some fishermen, adding they had been buried.
The spokeswoman of the FCT Police Command, SP Josephine Adeh, was yet to speak on the incident. (Daily Trust)
