The entire Galinkpegu community in the Tolon District in the Northern Region was shocked after the four farmers drowned in the dam when their canoe capsized last Saturday.<\/p>\n

The deceased were said to have returned from their farm when the incident occurred around 3:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

The bodies, identified as Alhassan Zakaria; 40, Yakubu Danaa; 45, Alhassan Musah; 45, and Issahaku Musah, have since been retrieved and handed over to their families for burial in line with Islamic customs.<\/p>\n

The Tolon District Director of the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), Abdallah Salifu, who confirmed the incident, said that a search party, including some local folks and personnel of NADMO, searched for about 24 hours and was able to retrieve all the bodies.<\/p>\n

The MP who was with the families to sympathize with them expressed shock at the incident and prayed that Allah accepts their souls.<\/p>\n
