It was also gathered that a pair of slippers believed to belong to the victim was retrieved from the river.

Confirming the incident, the Village Head of Haying Bello, Alhaji Ibrahim Fagge, said the victim drowned in a nearby community but people followed the river to the Hayin Bello community hoping to retrieve the body.

He urged parents to stop sending their children close to the river because it is not safe.
