A female Batch C corps member carrying out her National Youth Service to the Nation in the East, Faith Nzube Enemuo is dead.
She drowned in a river in Ikom Local Council where she is currently serving.
The late Faith
According to a remembrance note put up on facebook by her colleagues “
She
came along with us to play handball at the bank of the river…but, a few
minutes into the game, she went missing. There were ten of us, who went
to play handball on the dry land near the Ikom River. While playing,
the ball fell into the river, and Faith offered to fetch the ball, which
was moving faster away from the shoreline. She
stood close to the river for a few seconds, after which she dived to
bring the ball out. We watched in excitement as she swam close to the
ball, but, in a moment, she stopped and started waving her hands. We
thought she was still playing, until we didn’t see her again on the
water surface. By the time we realized what was happening, we signaled
to the villagers, who were swimming in the river. Villagers offered to
help with canoes and fishing instruments, but they could not get her.
Two days later, Faith’s body was found on the Okuni Beach in the
neighbouring village. We would miss you Faith”
Faith was a graduate of Social Studies from the University of Abuja.
May her soul rest in peace!
