A fully loaded passenger bus plunged into a river along a flooded bridge in Rivers state. The incident happened on Tuesday (yesterday) along (Akala Olu) Okogbe-Mbiama axis, East-West road of Ahoada West local government area of the state.

It was gathered that an earlier attempt to rescue the passengers was difficult due to the high level of the flood and water current in the region. 

A call was made to the general public who alerted local divers, officers of the Nigerian police force. and Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC). 

With the help of these people, the bus was lifted from deep inside the water with the aid of a volunteered self loader.

According to reports, some passengers have been rescued. Seven passengers were rescued unconscious and rushed to a hospital. 

It was also disclosed that some passengers are still missing as the rescue mission continues.

Every single minute counts in saving life.

Instead Finding Of Solution How To Rescue The Remaning People. They Are Taking Photos, Rescue Everybody First. Before Posing 4 Pictures.

May the unconscious get speedy recovery

And the missing found, but they might be dead only if they intesify thier effort and search more rather than taking pictures

God!
it was a terrible sight to behold.
i saw it when going to Delta from Port Harcourt that yesterday. i was even wondering why Setraco had to leave the space inbetween the lanes.

Oya clap for them ,super divers,rather selfie divers..

A bridge without barriers by the sides. My lord!. What a hopeless and visionless country!
Whoever constructed this bridge with no barriers, is that person maaaaddddd!!!!

It is either you are a kid or a very big fool!
People volunteered amidst the high risk of the high water level, with little or no technological help and, rescued drowning people. The fact that they saved life at all is a pass mark, and they saved more than one person. Okay you wanted them to continue swimming to futa jalon

The people are still missing, so you should come out from your hiding and start searching for them.

What have u done Mr hypocritical criticizer. If they did not take picture, u will be d lst to say, " pix or l don't believe it ".
mitheeew
Just get lost

They did well for the lives saved. But photographs will put us in trouble one day. They're taking pictures at an accident site as if they went to commission a road project. Someone could have been drowning right behind them.

Ohh my God...
Life has become so ordinary in this part of the world
In saner climes where the value of a single life is equivalent to that of a president,there should have been a search and rescue for those missing people....

Someone should have asked how this incident happened in order to avoid future occurrences!

Was the driver of that bus on top speed or reckless?
Are there plans to report or file charges against the transport company that owns the bus and driver?

Until people start asking the right questions,charge some of these transport companies to court or force the right authorities to seize the license of these irresponsible companies, more incidence(Even fatal) like these won't stop happening!

Hope they are found
