From Tim Dzamboe, Sogakope

The fate of two children engaged in child labour ended on a tragic note when they got drowned in the Volta Lake during a fishing expedition at night in the lower Volta near Sogakope.
The children Dzigbordi Klu, 8 and Kwashie Klu, 15 were said to have got drowned when a strong wind blew in the course of their expedition and caused their boat to capsize.
According to the Volta Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Inspector Joy Afagbedzi, the children had gone together with their grandfather, Klu Adama, on a fishing expedition.
He said their grandfather later reported the incident to the police at Sogakope but a search party organised to retrieve the dead bodies had not been successful.
