Two students from the Federal University Of Technology, Akure were said to be dead on the 1st of July, 2017. According to the source, it was gathered that they were at the venue for their Entrepreneurship training (ENT) at the laboratory for Fishery and Aquaculture, at the back of great hall, Obakekere. After the training, four of them decided to take a selfie on the canoe packed at the venue, during that process, the canoe which the four of them where in capsized, in which they drowned inside the water, and two of them narrowly escaped because they were able to swim, while the other two find it difficult to swim which leads to their death.
May their soul rest in peace.
