The Lagos State Waterways Authority says three people have been confirmed dead while two others are still missing in a boat accident that occurred at Irewe community in Ojo, near Lagos late on Tuesday. The General Manager of LASWA, Mr Emmanuel Oluwadamilola, who made the disclosure in a statement, said that 13 people were rescued in the incident. “At 6:10 p.m. today, Aug. 13, two boats had a head-on collision along the creek in Ojo Local Government Area of Lagos State. “There were 10 passengers in a boat coming from Ojo jetty and eight passengers in another coming from Irewe community when the incident occurred. “Eighteen passengers in total were involved with 13 rescued alive with three fatalities and two still missing–an adult and a child. “Search and rescue operation is ongoing by relevant state agencies and the local community who were the first responders. “Preliminary investigations by LASWA and LASEMA revealed that the incident was caused, due to reckless driving and over-speeding on the part of boat captains as one of them wasn’t in his right of way.” The LASWA boss said that further investigations would be carried out by the authority and that those found wanting would be sanctioned accordingly. He advised waterways users to always adhere to safety rules and regulations to avert untoward incidents. See more here; http://gistmore.com/three-die-2-missing-in-lagos-boat-mishap 1 Share

Due to the bad state of Lagos-Badagry road many passengers are now using water ways which is not safe either. To make matter worst their mumu life jacket will even help you drown well during emergency. Nigeria which way. |
