Four teenage boys have gone missing at an unmanned section of Elegushi beach in Lagos, the management said on Tuesday.
In a statement, Ayuba Elegushi described the incident as unfortunate.
Elegushi explained that the incident occurred at an unmanned section of the beach which was not open to the public.
According to him, about 10 teenage boys visited the beach on Tuesday morning, to celebrate the success of their WASSCE results.
He noted that after authorities at the beach and security team turned them back, the boys took a detour and went to an unmanned section of the beach area to swim.
Elegushi said all of them were almost drowning before the beach security were alerted to the scene and six of them were rescued while four are unaccounted for.
“While the matter has been reported at the Ilasan Police Station, effort is still on to find the missing boys,” he said.
