The capital of the Gomoa West District in the Central Region has been thrown into a state of mourning after 20 teenagers who went to have fun at the beach last Sunday got drowned.
The victims, aged between 14 and 17, used an illegal route through a lagoon in order not to be noticed by fisher folk at the beach before getting to the other side of the beach to swim.
The Apam District Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Moses Osakonor, who confirmed the incident to the Daily Graphic, said the tragedy occurred about 5 p.m. last Sunday.
