It was gathered that they had gone swimming alongside three others after playing football by the riverside behind the school when the incident happened. The current was said to have increased pulling the students deeper into the water. Three of them managed to swim back to shore while the two others drowned.
The three students ran back to the campus and called for help. The University management through the security unit as well as Marine Police immediately launched a search and rescue operation.
