A woman found dead in the Kujose River

A woman drowned in the Kujose River of Lake White Volta while washing with three other women in Daboya in the Savannah region of Ghana.

“The group was playfully testing each other’s bravery in the water when the victim accidentally ventured into the deeper part and couldn’t recover,” according to an eyewitness.

The survivors, narrowly escaping the tragedy, promptly reported the incident to local authorities in Daboya.

Despite efforts from onlookers to locate her immediately, the search proved unsuccessful until three days later when her lifeless body was discovered.

The deceased was laid to rest following Islamic customs.

This year, authorities note that the water flow from the Bagre Dam was lower than usual, keeping the water level normal until the tragic incident took place.
