An  engine boat loaded with about 85 passengers has capsized and killed no fewer than 76 persons on board.

It was gathered that the ill-fated boat, which had about 85 persons on board, took off from Onukwu Bridge and was heading to Nkwo market, Ogbakuba in Ogbaru Local Government Area, Anambra State, before it capsized. 

The incident happened early Saturday morning.

According to sources, only nine persons have been rescued while the rest are yet to be seen.

Although, details of the incident were still sketchy, meanwhile, unconfirmed official sources from a State Emergency Management Authority official said the incident happened on Saturday morning.
He said, “It has happened. An engine boat that loaded about 85 passengers at Onukwu bridge Ossomala enroute to Nkwo Ogbakuba market capsized this morning. Only nine passengers were rescued, the rest are yet to be seen.

“I wasn’t there when the boat loaded but the information we got unofficially is that it loaded 85.”

Proper safety equipment could have saved lives despite the boat capsizing.

In a sane country, 76 people dying would call for a national emergency, but not in Nigeria where life has remained worthless.

Almost as if successive governments are deliberately indifferent to the multiple avenues for the loss of human lives, as a means to curtail our population.

RIP to the departed.

Hmmm Anambra in the spotlight again ... Back to back.

A proper goose will always chase after a proper Ganda.



Who noticed we haven't heard any kidnapping or bH boys activity in a while? It's like someone turned the volume of thier megaphone down to -0db.

What kind of boat carries 85 persons when it's not a ship. Cheap articles certainly purges.

If this tragedy happened in Europe, our leaders would have immediately sent their condolences, our youth would trend it on social media...you'd see something like rip to the 76 victims of boat mishap.

But it happened here in Nigeria, no one cares. Truly the problem of the black man is the black man.

This I have seen.
