The Public Information Officer, National Emergency Management Agency, (NEMA), Mr. Farinloye Ibrahim disclosed to Daily Times that, "The man and his friends stayed far from the usual area where fun-seekers converge until one of them raised alarm on the drowning of the man. Immediately, the beach rescuers made frantic efforts at saving the man but they could not rescue him."
Ibrahim said, "This incident has brought the number of those drowned at the bar beach to 5 in 12 days. Four people were drowned on the new year, Wednesday, January 1, and efforts to rescue them proved abortive till two days later when their remains were recovered."
In his words of advise, he said, "It is pertinent that the state government advise people along the coastlines that the climate change effects are fully here; therefore, they need to be safety-conscious as they embark on their various activities in the area."
