“A group of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members had gone to a hotel at Ugwuoba in Enugu state identified as Hotel De Oranzi Resort, Agungwu Ugwuoba for swimming. 

In the ensuing swimming rendezvous amongst the celebrating corps members, one of them whose name is yet to be established allegedly got drowned.
