Stop using a swimming pool without an on-duty life guard — Police warns Nigerians after three siblings drowned in Lagos estate pool

Nigerians have been warned not to use a swimming pool without an on-duty life guard.

Benjamin Hundeyin, Police Police Public Relations Officer, gave the warning on Sunday, June 26, after three siblings reportedly drowned at a swimming pool in an estate in Ajah area of Lagos State.

DailyPost reports that husband and wife had left for an event, leaving the kids – age 14, 7 and 3 — at home. They, however, went to the estate pool to swim but drowned in the process.

Their lifeless bodies were later discovered by residents and security personnel, who rushed them to a hospital, where they were confirmed dead.

Upon their arrival, it was gathered that the couple fainted but were revived after some minutes.
