Mr Bright Osei Adjaye, a level 400 Student of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) drowned in the sea, on Saturday, when he went swimming with his colleagues, to celebrate his birthday.
The Winneba District Police Commander, Superintendent Godfrey Tetteh Adjirakor, told the Ghana News Agency in an interview in Winneba, on Tuesday.
He said Mr Adjaye organised a party at the beach.
He said after enjoying themselves with food and drinks, they swam for some time and they all returned to the beach.
According to them, later Mr Adjaye decided to go for his final swim and went back into the sea.
He said the friends later saw Mr Adjaye being driven deep into the sea by the current and before they got a rescuer, he drowned.
The Police Commander said the body, which was washed ashore the following day (Sunday Feb. 21) had since been released to the family for burial after autopsy at Winneba Municipal Hospital.
