10 die in Sokoto boat accident

 

Ten people reportedly lost their lives in a boat mishap in Sabon Birni LGA of Sokoto state.

The boat was said to have been carrying residents of Zalla-Bango village who were fleeing from armed bandits.

According to Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency publication, the police command confirmed the incident on Saturday, saying the boat capsized with all 10 passengers drowning.

The sources said the corpses were later recovered at about 11:30am on Thursday after an intensive search by villagers and fishermen.

The incident comes just weeks after over five persons were confirmed dead and 21 survivors were rescued, from a boat accident at Garin-Faji, in Sabon-Birni LGA of Sokoto state.

The mishap occurred one week after another at Kojiyo village in Goronyo LGA of the state.

In both incidents, the National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), alongside other stakeholders, including the National Inland Waterways Authority, and the Sokoto State Emergency Management Agency, were among first responders.
