A boat sank in Nigeria, specifically in Yobe State, resulting in at least 25 deaths and 14 people missing. The incident occurred on Saturday night when the boat, carrying locals who had visited the market, fishermen, and farmers, capsized in the Yobe River near Garbi town. The Yobe emergency management agency reported that 13 people were rescued and are receiving medical care.
In another incident, a boat sank in Niger State, killing at least 60 people, with many others rescued. The vessel had collided with a submerged tree stump near the Gausawa community in the Borgu Local Government Area.
These incidents highlight the recurring issue of boat accidents in Nigeria, often caused by overloading, poor maintenance, and inadequate safety regulations.
