The corpses of the three medical students who drowned in Calabar, Cross River State, have been recovered from the waters – Marina Resort, Calabar.
The corpses were recovered in the early hours of Monday, according to the statement from the Ahmadu Bello University Medical Students’ Association
They went missing when the boat in which they were cruising capsized on Saturday.
Thirteen medical students across different universities in Nigeria were involved in the boat accident.
The association identified the two deceased students as Mustapha Tukur and Kabiru Hamza, both final-year medical students of the university.
The late Tukur, until his passing, was the vice president of the medical students’ association at Ahmadu Bello University, the statement said.
“Both students were exceptional individuals, known for their dedication, compassion and academic prowess. They had a promising future ahead of them, and their loss was deeply felt by their families, classmates, professors, and everyone associated with the medical programme.
“It surely was a painful exit, but we take solace knowing too well that they both lived a fruitful and impactful life. They will always be remembered for using their sojourn on earth wisely and well. They added to what they found on earth but did not subtract. They made and didn’t destroy, and they left things better than they found them,†said the association, which condoled with the families and friends of the deceased students.
May their souls rest in peace.
