The deceased was one of four farmers who drowned on Saturday, August 12 in the Golinga dam when they were returning from the farm.

The Tolon District Director of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Abdallah Salifu, confirmed the discovery to Citi News after a search party recovered the body.

They were seven in number on a canoe when the incident happened, but four, unfortunately, lost their lives.
