The body of Agele Isaac Aston, a civil defense and disaster management officer who drowned in the Kinaite River in Torit State, was found on Monday, an official said.
Col. James Joseph, the civil defense and disaster management director, told Radio Tamazuj on Monday that the body of Second Lieutenant Agele Isaac was found in the river.
“Three days ago, the deceased’s relatives came and reported his disappearance and we directed them to report the matter to police. At about 9:00 a.m., we received a phone call that someone drowned in the river and our team responded to get the body and found that it was Agele Isaac Aston,” James said.
He further said a team was sent to investigate the cause of Agele’s death.
At least three people have drowned in Torit this month, officials said.
