A 23-year-old man, Aminu Abdullahi, drowned on Friday while bathing in a pond at Hotoro Quarters in Nasarawa Local Government Area of Kano State.

The Public Relations Officer, Kano State Fire Service, Saidu Mohammed, confirmed the incident on Friday.

Mohammed said that the incident happened in the morning hours when the deceased went to take his bath.

“We received a distress call today from one Mr Habila John, at about 08:30a.m., that Abdullahi’s body was found floating in a pond.

“On receiving the information, we quickly sent our rescue team to the scene at about 08:35 a.m., where we recovered Abdullahi’s dead body.”

Mohammed advised parents and ward heads to stop children from going to take their bath in any open water because of the danger involved in doing so.
