Nigerian Father Grieves Son Drowned After Friends Lured Him to Stagnant Water
A Nigerian man, Simon Peter, is heartbroken after his young son, Lawrence, drowned in a stagnant pool while playing with friends. Peter says the boy’s friends convinced him to follow them and then watched in silence as he slipped under. In a social media post, Peter wrote: “My dear son, I am sorry for not having the powers to appear and save you when you were in trouble. Your friends led you there and left you without calling for help until you drowned.” He adds that he was calling his son to come home and eat when he received the tragic news. “I realized life had truly gone out of you. Son, I will forever miss you. Goodnight, dear,” he concluded.
