The kayaker, a 17-year-old man, was last seen by a friend downstream from Okere Falls.

The control gates to Okere Falls are now closed and the river level is dropping.

The river level tomorrow will be extremely low.

The search teams will resume again tomorrow if they do not locate the missing kayaker tonight.
