The otherwise quiet town of Apam was Tuesday throw into a sombre mood as hundreds of people, both young and old, put on black and red attire to mourn with the bereaved families of the 13 children who drowned in the sea in the town.
The deceased teenagers had, on Sunday, March 7, 2021, as part of their weekly Sunday special get-together, gone to the beach to swim. However, bad weather caused 20 of them to drown.
So far, 13 dead bodies have been retrieved, with only two survivors - Godfred Apratse, 14, and Simon Dadzie, 15.
The 13th body, which was retrieved last Friday, was buried on the same day, after some traditional rituals had been performed, due to the decomposed state of the body.
Seth Narh, the father of one of the kids who drowned at the Apam beach, is still in a state of denial over his son, Benjamin Narh’s death.
According to Mr Narh, who is based in Spain, he arrived in Ghana a few weeks ago with the now deceased and his twin brother expected to travel with him.
“I have visited Ghana on countless occasions but this is the first time I am coming for my boys to live with them abroad but the unthinkable happened,” he disclosed.
“I am done with all the documents and have even purchased a ticket for them so we should have been there by now as the date for our departure was on the 12th of March Sunday but it was rather unfortunate that I have lost one,” he said sadly.
