 GOVERNMENT OF RIVERS STATE   PRESS STATEMENT  MY DECISION TO WITHDRAW FROM THE RIVERS  STATE  GUBERNATORIAL PRIMARIES  Fellow Rivers People, After deep reflection and extensive consultations with my family, friends, and associates, I have taken the difficult but necessary decision to withdraw from the APC gubernatorial primaries. I do so with a full heart and with a firm commitment to support whoever emerges as the candidate of our great party. Leadership is ultimately about sacrifice. There comes a time when personal ambition must yield to the greater good of the people. Rivers State is bigger than any individual, and at this critical moment, the peace, stability, and unity of our dear state must take precedence over every personal interest. To my supporters who stood firmly with me throughout this journey who gave their time, resources, prayers, and unwavering hope, I offer my deepest gratitude.

TWO SOUTH CAROLINA TEENS PASS AWAY AFTER JUMPING FROM A BRIDGE ON A DARE CHALLENGE. (PHOTO).


 Two South Carolina teens pass away after jumping from a bridge on a dare.


16-year-old Rayan Al-Nasser and 15-year-old Zakaria Chaar, both sophomores at D.W Daniel High, have been identified as the victims in a heartbreaking incident which occurred Saturday night.


According to officials, the two were part of a group chat where students were daring each other to jump from the Twelve Mile River Bridge.


Eventually the group met up to make good on the dare however things quickly went bad.

According to reports the first teen landed awkwardly when he jumped from the bridge and immediately went into distress.  Upon seeing his friend in distress the second teen jumped in to try and rescue his friend.


Sadly both boys disappeared under the surface of the water presumably being pulled under by the current. The two never surfaced. Another teen at the scene called 911 at around 10:28 pm. Although first responders were on scene in minutes, the boys were not recovered until Monday. 


They were found 8 feet apart in 15 foot deep water. 

There has been no clarification on which teen jumped first and which teen tried to save him.

Our thoughts are with the families and the community as a whole.
