The tragic incident occurred during what was supposed to be a routine morning jogging session.
According to reports, ten students had gone for their morning exercise but unexpectedly decided to travel to Burkina Faso.
Their boat overturned mid-journey, plunging all occupants into the river.
Three students were rescued alive, while a search operation is currently underway for the remaining seven, whose conditions remain unknown.
Local authorities and responders have mobilised to locate the missing students, with divers combing the river.
