Family: We suspect foul play
ROCKVILLE, Md. (PSN) – The son of a Nigerian diplomat, Hafis Kareem 15, was confirmed dead by Police on Early Sunday morning after being drowned at the New Mark Commons community pool in Rockville, Maryland.
PSN gathered that Kareem and some other kids jumped over the fence to get into the pool area late Saturday night.
According to the Montgomery Police, We’re told Kareem went under water and the others with him yelled for help, asking someone walking by to call 911.
The 15-year old was taken to the hospital where he died early Sunday morning.
Hafis Kareem’s father was a diplomat at the Embassy of Nigeria, Washington, DC and just recently got posted back to Abuja.
His sister, Hamidat Kareem, doesn't understand why he was in the water because he didn't know how to swim. She says "none of us know how to swim, so I don't know what happened, if they pushed him in. We had a pool party here and he didn't swim, he just stood by the pool."
Police say there is nothing to indicate Kareem was pushed from their investigation.
