Ghanaians react to sad videos of 20 teens who sneaked into beach & drowned at Apam
20 students have drowned at Apam in the Central Region of Ghana after they went to play football at the beach and decided to go and swim afterwards
The incident, YEN.com.gh reported, occurred around 5 pm on March 7 when the children between the ages of 14 and 17 years went through an illegal route through a lagoon.
They reportedly sneaked in, in order not to be noticed by the leadership of the fishermen at the beach due to the directive on the closure of beaches.
On the morning of March 9, 2021, the news surfaced properly on social media with videos of eye-witnesses giving account of what transpired and many have been sharing their heartbreaking reactions.

Popular relationship advisor @abenamagis wondered how the parents of the children would feel after receiving the unexpected news of their wards' sudden demise.
