A tragic incident occurred in Karim Lamido Local Government Area of Taraba, where a boat carrying over 80 passengers capsized.

The boat capsized in the Binneri community of Karim Lamido, midway through the Benue River, on Saturday evening.

According to Mr Jessy Danladi, a source in the area, three bodies were initially recovered, followed by twelve others, by local fishermen.

The ill-fated boat was returning from a fish market in the Mayoreneyo community when the incident occurred, just 50 minutes after take off.

Sadly, none of the passengers were wearing lifejackets, as they were accustomed to the waters.

The police spokesperson, Abdullahi Usman confirmed the incident and was awaiting the official figures from the divisional police officer of the area.

Boat accidents in Nigeria are unfortunately common due to factors such as overloading, speeding, poor maintenance, and a disregard for navigation rules.

A few weeks ago, a boat carrying more than 40 passengers from Niger to Kebbi state also capsized.

In September, 26 people died in a boating accident in Niger state, north-central Nigeria. Fifteen others died recently in a similar accident in Adamawa state.
