Friday, April 11, 2025 -The Lapai community in Niger State has been thrown into mourning following the heartbreaking d3ath of three brothers from the same family within a span of just two weeks.
The tragic incidents, which have left residents in
shock, involved drowning and
a fatal sports injury.
The most recent incident occurred on Thursday morning, April
10, 2025 when two brothers, Ismail Alaba and his sibling, reportedly drowned in
the Katcha River.
The brothers were said to be returning home after purchasing
bags of rice when the unfortunate accident occurred.
Eyewitnesses suggest that their canoe may have capsized,
leading to the fatal outcome.
Before the drowning incident, the family had already been
grieving the loss of their eldest son, who passed away recently.

football match and, despite efforts to save him, succumbed to his wounds.

community.

to the grieving family, who are now facing an unimaginable loss.
