It was supposed to be a Christmas party for the church, there were food and drink that members would take but two teenagers ended up floating inside a swimming pool while the party was going on…How did this happen?
The victims Ayomide Fagbola aged 17 and Ifeoluwa, who was in Junior Secondary School 2 were said to have died inside the swimming pool during the programme.
A family friend of the Fagbolas told our correspondent that Ifeoluwa was the first to fall inside the pool and Ayomide, in an attempt to rescue his friend, also dived into the water where he drowned.
The source said, “They went to Osogbo for an excursion and one of the boys, Ifeoluwa, was said to have fallen inside the pool and Ayomide tried to rescue him and he also got drowned.
“The parents of the victims were not told what happened to their children. The youth leader just packed their clothes and shoes inside their bags and sent them to their parents.
“Their parents waited for hours and raised the alarm when it was getting late and they did not see their children.”
“Some members of the Fagbola family and those from the other family went to Osogbo and searched for the children but they later found their corpses at the mortuary of a missionary hospital in Osogbo where their bodies were deposited.
“A deep cut was found on the thigh of Ayomide and the cut is giving many of us reason to be worried. Could somebody who was drowned in a pool have a cut on his thigh?”
The police were said to have searched for the youth leader and eventually located the pastor and his wife at their residence where they were arrested and taken to Police Headquarters in Osogbo for interrogation.
