Two brothers have drowned in a river at Robukya community in Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

According to a relative, Barnabas Iliya, the incident occurred around 9:23 am on Saturday, August 9, 2025 while the boys were attempting to cross the river.

The brothers, identified as Joshua and Samson, were 9 and 12 years old.

They were on their way to the family farm when they were swept away.

Iliya explained that the river had overflowed its banks due to a heavy rainfall.

He said the boys’ father had told them to wait for the rain to stop, but they left for the farm without his knowledge.

The boys’ bodies were recovered later that day around 3 pm with the help of local fishermen.

Police in the area confirmed the incident.
