“One also drowned at Ibeshe Island, two fell into Third Mainland Bridge in an accident, and one in a hotel in Shasha.”
The police spokesperson said the deaths were avoidable if all the necessary safety measures were put in place and observed.
He, therefore, advised the hoteliers, in particular, to employ lifeguards and have lifeguards off-duty signs on display when necessary at their facilities.
Hundeyin also enjoined visitors to hotels to always read instructions on hotel facilities, particularly swimming pool, to avoid fatality.
