The teens, said to be pupils of Kuramo Senior College, went to the beach with five of their mates to unwind after collecting their West African Examination Certificate (WAEC) result.

The Nation learnt that the pupils aged between 14 and 16 years drowned around 3:30pm shortly after diving into the water for a swim.
