Police give account of how about 20 teenagers drowned at Apam
The Apam District Police Commander has given a
chilling account of how 20 teenagers drowned at
the beach there on Sunday.

Deputy Superintendent of Police, Moses Osakonor
told Joy News the sad incident happened at about 5
pm.

According to him, the determined teens stole to
have fun swimming in total disregard to the
President’s ban on activities at the nation’s
beaches as a way to curb the spread of Covid-19.

According to a police report, while the children
were swimming, a heavy tide rose and they could
not control themselves so they were taken away by
the sea.




The timely intervention of a Good Samaritan saved
the lives of two of them as they were rescued and
sent to the St. Luke Hospital to be attended to.

The search party immediately jumped into the sea
in an attempt to retrieve the bodies throughout
the night but it was unsuccessful and had to in
vain as they did not find other bodies either dead
or alive.

Luck smiled on the team on Monday morning (7 am)
as the dead bodies of four of the teens were
retrieved.

Three hours later, the search team again retrieved
three bodies. The total number of bodies retrieved
as of Tuesday morning is 12 with two females and
10 males.

The Apam township, according to Joy News’
Richard Kwadwo Nyarko has been thrown into a state
of mourning on Tuesday morning as families are
being consoled.

He said others are unsure what to expect as they
await news of their missing teenagers.

DSP Moses Osakonor said the victims are from
various households.

He said some have families from Apam and its
environs as well as from Cape Coast.

The police he said are yet to establish which of
the victims are from Cape Coast, Apam and other
parts of the Central Region.
