Two six-year-olds drown in River Ankobra

Tragedy hit two families at Wassa Eyaim in the Western Region on February 14 when their two six-year old boys drowned in the Ankobra River.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Raymond Erzuah, District Commander of Sefwi-Wiawso, told the GNA that the children, Kweku Ahmed and Kwesi Ajare, had gone to the river to swim as their way of marking the Valentine’s Day but drowned.

He said the bodies of the children had been deposited at the Sefwi-Wiawso Government Hospital for autopsy.

DSP Erzuah expressed surprise that such very young children were left unsupervised to undertake such an adventure.
