The government has been told to develop and enforce beach warning systems following the drowning of twenty people at the Apam Beach.
Twenty teenagers are reported to have gone to an area – where swimming is not permitted – along the shores of Apam on Sunday, March 6 to swim.
However, they were swept away by a heavy tidal wave while they were “enjoying themselves at the beach”.
Commenting on this development, a United States-based Ghanaian Professor, Kwaku Asare said in a Facebook post that “We mourn with Apam. Let’s develop and enforce Beach Warning Systems.”
Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Fisherman of Apam in the Central Region Nana Kow Panyin has disclosed that ten out of the 12 bodies washed ashore, in last Sunday’s drowning, have been identified by their families.
