A tragic drowning incident has claimed the life of a University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID) student, while another was rescued after they went swimming at the Gwange River Bank in Maiduguri, Borno State.

The incident occurred on March 14, 2025, around 7:00 p.m., when the students, identified as Abafras Abdiel from the Department of Forestry and Silas Sule from the Department of Geology, went to the Gwange River Bank behind ECWA Church for a swim.

While diving, both students drowned in the river, prompting an emergency response. 

According to security analyst, Zagazola Makama, a combined rescue team, including the police, divers, and fire service personnel, was immediately mobilized to the scene. 

The rescue team managed to retrieve both victims and rushed them to the State Specialist Hospital, Maiduguri. 

While Abafras Abdiel was admitted for treatment, Silas Sule was unfortunately certified d3ad by doctors. 

His body has since been deposited at the hospital for autopsy and further investigations. 

The authorities have urged students and residents to exercise caution when engaging in activities near water bodies, especially during the dry season, when river currents can be unpredictable.
