“Both of them gave up the ghost same hour while receiving treatment at a private hospital.”

Meanwhile, some people who said they were present when the incident happened told the News Agency of Nigeria that the remains of the students were found floating around Casso Bus Stop and they were quickly moved to a nearby hospital by shop owners who saw their bodies.
The report quoted a witness as saying she and others were taking shelter from the rain in a nearby shop when they noticed the floating bodies on the water.

“That was how we discovered the boys and quickly some motorcycle riders rushed and lifted them on their shoulders but they were lifeless because their legs and hands were just dangling,” the witness said.

One of the riders said they were able to know the boys were students because they were in their school uniforms.

“I am sad and cannot talk now because they are dead and nothing can bring them back to life,” an eyewitness who said the duo could have been friends said.

Meanwhile, according to the NAN report, a worker in the hospital said the boys had given up the ghost before they were brought in.
