Fifteen-year-old Adyemi Azeez, a former student of Abrams Zuil Secondary School on the Essequibo Coast, has gone missing after he went swimming with his friends at the Onderneeming beach on Thursday.
Missing: Adyemi Azeez
Based on reports received, the teen and some of his school friends had gone to the home of another student at Onderneeming, where they cooked and relaxed a bit.
However, at about 13:00h, they left and went to the Onderneeming beach, where the now missing teen and three other friends went into the water. The water was reportedly rough, and due to the current, the lads were pulled further into the river.
Upon realising their plight, Azeez and his friends called out for help. At that time, the others who were not in the water scrambled to assist their friends. They managed to pull three of the teens out of the water to safety, but Azeez reportedly went underwater and disappeared.
The matter was reported to the police, and a search party was formed. Despite several hours of searching, the teen’s body was not recovered.
