Faith Nzebe Enemuo
Faith Nzube Enemuo Batch “C” member of the National Youth Service Corps
(NYSC) with state code number CR/12C/068 has been reported to have
drowned in a river in Ikom Local Council where she is currently serving.
She is from Nanka Village in Anambra State. A graduate of Social Studies from the University of Abuja (UNIABUJA).
She came along with her co-corpers to play handball at the bank of the
river. But, a few minutes into the game, she went missing.
There were about 10 of them, who came to play handball on the dry land
near the Ikom River. One of them suggested that they should move closer
to the river, but the suggestion was opposed by other Corps members. The
ball fell into the river, an eyewitness said, and the late Faith
offered to fetch the ball, which was moving faster away from the
shoreline.
The late Faith stood close to the river for a few
seconds, after which she dived to bring the ball out. Her colleagues
watched in excitement as she swam close to the ball.
But, in a
moment, she stopped and started waving her hands. They thought she was
still playing, until they didn’t see her again on the water surface.
When her colleagues realised what was happening, they signalled to the
villagers, who were swimming in the river. After 10 minutes of frantic
search, the rescuers could not find the girl. More villagers offered to
help with canoes and fishing instruments, but they could not get her.
Two days later, the late Faith’s body was found on the Okuni Beach in the neighbouring village.
RIP our dear sister. God knows why
