Three days after a 20-passenger boat ferrying 17 persons capsized and two persons died, another passenger boat ferrying 16 persons on Friday capsized with all passenger onboard declared missing.

In a press statement by the General Manager, National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA) in Lagos, Sarat Braimah, she said the passeger boat was sailing from Mile 2 to Ibeshe, Ojo in Lagos state.

According to her, the boat broke the waterways rules of late travelling by setting sail at 7.45pm, saying the tide of the water drifted the boat to a stationary barge which caused the boat to overturn.

According to her, NIWA, Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) and Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) have been mobilised to the scene of the incident.
