It is reported that the deceased and some of her friends were swimming at the hotel swimming pool on Saturday, October 30, when they noticed she was missing.

According to one of the deceased friends, she said:

"We were at the pool this evening swimming when we noticed that she was struggling in the deep end of the pool. We immediately called the pool manager that someone was drowning but he said he does not know how to swim. We were just there trying frantically to get someone who could help to no avail. She was in the water for over thirty minutes before her lifeless body was eventually dragged out," the witness narrated.

In the meantime, the elder brother of the deceased, Mr. Jacob Joseph, confirmed the sad incident and said that the body has been taken to the Federal Medical Centre, Jalingo to be deposited at the morgue.
