Piqued by rising incidents of drowning in Ogun State, the State Police Command has called on the people and residents of the state to be wary.
In a recent press release signed by DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the state, the Police warned members of the public to exercise extreme caution, especially when swimming in rivers, streams, or swimming pools.
Hotel and recreational facility operators were also urged to ensure that all swimming pools are properly supervised, clearly marked, and have trained lifeguards on duty at all times.
They were advised to make all necessary equipment available all the time.
The state Commissioner of Police, CP Lanre Ogunlowo insisted that avoidable loss of life is unacceptable, hence, all stakeholders must take responsibility to ensure safety for themselves and others.
