Breaking: 26 years old girl drown at swimming pool in Jalingo
Callistus Agwaza, Jalingo
Twenty two six years old girl Clara Joseph has drowned at Suite 11 Hotel Swimming pool in Jalingo, Taraba state.
An eye witness who spoke to Sunday Sun said that the lady and her friends were swimming at the paid swimming pool when they noticed she was missing.
“We were at the pool this evening swimming when we noticed that she was struggling in the deep end of the pool. We immediately called the pool manager that someone was drowning but he said he does not know how to swim. We were just there trying frantically to get someone who could help to no avail. She was in the water for over thirty minutes before her lifeless body was eventually dragged out.”

The elder brother to the late Clara Mr Jacob Joseph who confirmed the sad incident to our correspondent said that the body has been taken to the Federal Medical Center Jalingo to be deposited at the Morgue.
The terribly shaken Joseph said he was surprised that a hotel in the league of Suite 11 maintains a swimming pool with a pool manager who could not swim and would watch a young girl die helplessly.
When our correspondent contacted the Consultant in Charge of the hotel Mr Polycap Adi, he said he had no information about what transpired and would get back to him and subsequently did not pick his calls.
