No fewer than 20 persons have lost their lives in a boat accident in Andoni waterways, located in Andoni Local Government Area of Rivers state.
This was contained in a statement issued early Wednesday by the Executive Chairman of Andoni LGA, Erastus Awortu, who expressed his shock at the incident.
According to Awortu, the accident which occurred on Tuesday night was said to have involved two boat passengers on their way to Bonny, a nearby coastal village.
He said: “When we learned of the tragic development, we immediately dispatched our team to join the first responders on a rescue mission at the scene of the incident in an attempt to salvage the situation.
“Our hearts go out to the victims’ families and communities, particularly those in Ngo Town, Ataba, Isiama, and other communities where loved ones were involved in the boat mishap.
“We share their anguish and trauma, and our prayers and thoughts are with them during this difficult time.”.
