Not always a guarantee.

If you use the proper one and use it correctly it’s a guarantee you will float, but may not be a guarantee if there are wild fishes in the water.

People just die because of ignorance. Am sure they didn't have a safety vest with them. They must have prayed before the journey like that's what matters the most forgetting the basics. Anyway RIP to the dead.

an eye witness said its more than thirty people on that boat,the rider of the boat carried too much goods on his boat,according to the report he had already loaded his boat with bags of garri,motorcycles,before loading passengers on the said boat,that was why the boat sank into the sea

Hmmm.. Too bad. Rip to them... and I also warn skullminers to steer clear from them or else.....
