It is reported that she was found dead in a swimming pool at a hotel in Jalingo, the Taraba state capital, where she went to celebrate with friends after an examination, on Saturday, October 30. The elder brother to the deceased, Jacob Joseph, who confirmed the incident to Channels Television, said the body has been taken to the Federal Medical Center, Jalingo and deposited at the Morgue.
“I am shocked beyond words to know that my own sister is no more.
More surprising to me is that I heard she was nowhere to be found and the pool manager said he does not know how to swim not to talk more of searching for her at the deep side of the pool,” Joseph said.
Eyewitnesses at the scene told Channels Television that the deceased was swimming alongside some friends when she suddenly went missing. According to the friends, they were all swimming together when they noticed Clara was struggling at the deep end of the pool. When they called the pool manager to assist, he said he did not know how to swim.
“After several minutes of frantic efforts, we only succeeded in pulling her lifeless body out,” a friend to the deceased said.
