Mamobi was thrown into mourning following news of the deaths of the four school girls, according to Daily Guide reports.
Two of them; Farida and Hamdiya were identified but the identities of the two others were still unknown. They have since been buried at the Madina cemetery under Islamic tradition. One had earlier been buried on Sunday.
Witnesses told the Daily Guide that they had gone to the beach to swim to while away the time. It is usual for teenagers to go swimming at the beach but most of them are normally not good swimmers and with no lifeguards around, tragedies have often been recorded.
As if he knew this unfortunate incident would happen, the father of one of the girls warned her not to go to the beach but she defied her father’s advice.
The cause of the tragedy was unknown but speculations are rife that the Sunday early morning downpour might have resulted in high tide leading to the mishap. Police were unaware of the tragic incident as at press time yesterday.
