The Gomoa West Security Council has disclosed that a burial service will be held next week Tuesday for 12 teenagers who drowned in the sea at Apam on Sunday.
One more body has been retrieved this morning. The total number of bodies retrieved so far are 13 . However, the planned mass funeral service and burial which was originally slated for today, has been postponed to next week Tuesday .
Meanwhile, the MP for Gomoa West Richard Gyan-Mensah has called for strict enforcement of the ban on beaches. The President in his 24th update on Covid 19 restated the ban on beaches under the Imposition of Restrictions Act 2020, ACT 1012.
Mr. Gyan-Mensah said there appears to be total disregard for this ban. The MP made the call when he made an urgent statement on the floor of the House on the drowning of 13 teenagers who had gone swimming at Apam Beach.
Mr. Gyan-Mensah however dismissed media reports that the children had gone there for some undesirable reasons, insisting they only went swimming as they usually do.
