Young man drowns in a beach in Port Harcourt while his friend filmed

A young man has died by drowning in Abuloma, Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

As the young man drowned, his friend filmed, unaware that he was drowning and calling for help.

According to his cousin who shared the story online, the man had been at the shallow end of the beach, but due to the dredging going on, the ground under him opened. Sadly, the friend saw his hand flailing but thought he was calling her to join him.

She was almost arrested but was saved by the video she took which made it clear she wasn't aware that he was drowning.
