No fewer than seven persons have drowned at different swimming pools and beach in Lagos State within six days.
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, disclosed this on Friday, April 12, 2024.
Hundeyin said: “This week alone, seven people drowned in hotel swimming pools and beach. Two drowned in one hotel in Mushin and one in a hotel on Lagos Island.

“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.
