The Police in Lagos on Tuesday morning recovered the bodies of two persons who drowned at the Bar Beach in Lagos on Monday. Mr Frank Mba, the police spokesman told newsmen on Tuesday in Lagos that the corpses had been identified by the family members. Mba, who gave the names of the victims as Dauda Adeyemo, 22 and one Lukman, said that the police received reports on Monday that some persons got drowned at the Bar Beach while playing.

``When we received the report, the Commissioner of Police, Mr Marvel Akpoyibo, ordered the Marine police to search for the victims. So far only two dead bodies had been recovered. ``We were told that the boys were playing football and one of them kicked it deep into the waters.

It was in an attempt to recover their ball that they got drowned,'' Mba said. He said that the Marine police were still searching for the other bodies and advised parents, whose children were yet to return home from their outing on Monday to report to the nearest police station.
