Nana Kwame revealed that this is not the first time such an unfortunate incident has happened, and people have been warned to put an end to open defecation into the sea.
he further revealed that a ritual will be performed into the sea by the elders to appease the sea and ask for forgiveness on behalf of the deceased to enable them to retrieve his body.
Some fishermen are currently on the sea in search of his body, but it has not yielded any positive results.
The Anomabo Police Station has also commenced investigations into the matter.
