The residents of the nearby town led by the village Head gathered around the River and employed expert swimmers to search the tricycle rider,while swimming inside the River Shimar they found the dead body of the tricycle rider.

The corpse has  since been evacuated to the  Murtala Muhammad Hospital mutuary before the identity of his relatives is tracked.

A resident of the near town Hamza Marke told NIGERIAN TRACKER that the river Shimar has been drowning strangers or visors who stopped to swim.

According to Hamza Mato Marke the reason why strangers are drowning inside the River Shimar may be connected to how naive strange swimmers are with the River Shimar that supply water to irrigation farmers in their farms adjacent the River.
