According to Punch:
“The (students) had
graduated from the Covenant University and were on the verge of bagging their
Master’s Degrees in International Law and Diplomacy from UNILAG.
While Ogunmefun was brought
out dead, Bolu and Odusina were said to have been rushed to some private
hospitals in the area which rejected them.
Odusina died on the way to
the Lagos Island General Hospital, while Bolu survived.
Families and friends of the
deceased had blamed the deaths on the alleged failure of the beach management
to provide necessary safety devices like life guards, a wave alarm system, an
ambulance and a medical unit at the facility and condemned the indifference of
the hospitals that rejected the victims.
Odusina’s elder sister,
Bukola, had also lamented that the incident shattered her sister’s dreams to
become a philanthropist, an ambassador and a mechanised farmer, calling on the
government to ensure that the beach had adequate safety devices.”
Confirming the arrests, the
Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dolapo Badmos, said the
identities of the managers would be revealed after the command had ascertained
their culpability.
“The command has arrested
two managers of the beach and they are being interrogated,” she said, adding,
“We don’t want to release their names now so as not to infringe on their human
rights. As soon as we ascertain their culpability, their names will be made
public.”
“We hope to arrest more
persons and we will visit the scene of the crime to know what transpired” she
concluded.
