So far, 25 people have been rescued and three bodies recovered. NEMA confirmed on Wednesday that the search and rescue operation has now been concluded, citing the slim chances of survival after 24 hours.
According to NEMA’s Sokoto Operations Head, Aliyu Kafindangi, the wooden canoe was overloaded with passengers, goods, and motorcycles. He noted that overcrowding and poor safety compliance remain major causes of such incidents.
This tragedy adds to a series of deadly boat accidents across Nigeria in recent months, including incidents in Kwara and Jigawa states that claimed dozens of lives.
