Lamu drivers warn about strong winds in the sea

According to eyewitnesses, the strong winds that were there when the youngsters swim may have contributed to the water.

The driver, Bashir Tora, called on parents and teachers accompanying children or students to swim to be more careful when the wind was strict to avoid traumatic events.

“This is a demonic season, and you will see that the sea changes in such times, from April, May, and June. The sea is dangerous,” he said.

He also advised to make sure that the divers are around to ensure safety and immediate response if an emergency occurs.
