A Nigerian driver identified simply as Kingsley has been declared missing after drowning in the sea at Tarkwa-Bay beach, Lagos, during a leisure trip with two Indian nationals on Monday.
Police sources told Zagazola Makama that two Indian expatriates, attached to the Dangote Company in Lekki, reported the incident at the Tarkwa-Bay Police Division.
They stated that the incident occurred around 4:00 p.m. on Sunday when their driver, who conveyed them to the beach for relaxation, entered the water and got swept away by strong currents.
“All efforts to recover his body proved abortive,” a police source said.
Police detectives from the division later visited the scene, and efforts were ongoing to locate and retrieve the body of the deceased driver.
The identity of the victim was yet to be fully established as only his first name was known at the time of the report.
