A first year student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has met his untimely death on a day supposed to be the happiest day of his life.
The level 100 student, Gideon Afoakwa, 19, went out with his friends in a boat expedition on the Barakese Lake to celebrate his birthday and take some pictures.
According to Peace FM�s reporter, Sampson Kwame Nyamekye, speaking in an interview on Peace FM, Gideon decided to jump into the lake to show his swimming prowess when actually he didn�t know how to swim.
His friends who thought Gideon was still showing his swimming skills were cheering him up until they realized something was wrong.
Apparently, they also didn�t know how to swim and therefore went to the nearest police station to report the incident as well as call for help.
A team was therefore dispatched to the scene to search for and recover the body of Gideon.
Meanwhile, the lifeless body of Gideon has been deposited at the mortuary.
