UPDATE: Kuramo Beach Ocean Surge.
FIVE more bodies swept away by weekend ocean surge at Kuramo beach in Victoria Island were recovered yesterday at the shore of Bar beach. The recovered bodies were those of a two- year- old boy, Daniel Ajose, his mother, Mrs Mariam Ajose, Mr Joseph Oke, Olumide, and Alhaji Babatunde Benson, alias KC . This has brought the number of the dead to 10. There was a mild drama yesterday at Kuramo beach as some divers whose services were employed to scout for the bodies threatened to stop further work, alleging that they had been shortchanged. The divers numbering four explained that before they started the search on Sunday they had bargained for N50,000 at the completion of the job yesterday but those who hired them reneged on the agreement. One of the divers who identified himself as Segun said “today (yesterday), after we have recovered some of the bodies, we were given one thousand naira to share among ourselves”. It could be recalled that there was an ocean surge last saturday at about 2. am at the Kuramo Beach which left 15 people missing.
