Man Who Just Completed NYSC Drowns in River

 

A Mechanical Engineering graduate of the Delta State Polytechnic (Delta Poly), Otefe-Oghara, Delta State, Mr Friday Abiligo Orhomre, has reportedly drowned in Ughoton River, Okpe Local Government Area of Delta State.

Sketchy reports say the speedboat his mother and siblings were traveling in capsized while they were returning from the farm.

While Friday who completed his compulsory NYSC service year in October 2020 reportedly drowned his mother and siblings were said to have navigated the tide to the shore.

The young man was said to have objected to making the trip to farm earlier but was encouraged by some of his family members.

Sources said divers have begun to search the river to locate the graduate.

One Ugborotu Mark also confirmed the incident in a Facebook post writing;

"Today I received the sudden news of your demise and till now my heart is still bleeding. O death why? Even as I can't phrase the correct words to express myself, the shock that the news of your demise has brought upon us the Ughoton people, Okpe Kingdom, Delta and Nigeria as a whole, it is indeed glaring that we just lost one of the great leaders of tomorrow to the cold hands of death''.

"Also I commiserate with the Abiligo Orhomre family over the death of our son and brother, pls accept my condolences and I pray for God to grant the soul of the faithful departed eternal rest. Rest in peace"'
