Just then they saw heavy tidal waves that were beyond normal come to carry some of them away.

He said while the “first batch” of the boys were taken away, the rest of them kept swimming until another powerful wave came for them.

Ghanaians woke up to the sad news on Sunday, March 7, 2021, that some young boys between the ages of 12 and 15 had drowned while swimming in the sea at Apam.

According to the Apam Traditional Authority, the boys defiled the sea by having sex with their female counterparts.

An act, the authority claimed, made the sea god angry and decided to punish the boys by killing them.

Their reason for the drowning was corroborated by a chief fisherman in Apam, who said the sea god kills faster if such an abominable sin is committed in the sea.

The Apam township is said to be in a state of shock and mourning as the affected families are still grieving over their loss.
