Fifteen passengers on the 16-passenger boat that capsized on July 8 at Ojo area of Lagos State have been found dead.

General Manager, Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA), Mr Oluwadamilola Emmanuel, confirmed that 11 bodies were recovered on Sunday, in addition to four bodies recovered on Saturday.

Emmanuel disclosed that Search and Rescue teams of LASWA, the National Inland Waterways, Nigerian Marine Police and the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency, are still searching for the only remaining body.

The full capacity boat was heading to Ibeshe in Ojo area when tragedy struck.

The tide of the water drifted the boat to a stationary barge, which caused it to overturn.

First missing, then found.. but dead. Poseidon strikes again.

On a serious note tho.. Lagos should add swimming lessons in school curriculums. More than 50% of the population don't know how to swim and they are living near the coastal areas.

It's an essential survival skill to have. Ever wondered why rain was able to wipe the earth?.. Non of those guys knew how to swim. Noah is no exception.

Enroll your wards for swimming lessons today. Water is as dangerous as fire.

May God save us from all these mishaps. Government should also put necessary regulations in place to check the activities of the operators.

It's quite unfortunate

Nowhere is safe again for transportation. Even if you travel by air, your life is not guaranteed.

Avoidable deaths...

RIP

Sad one....RIP

I can never travel through the waterways without a life jacket...reason I bought two and I always move with them when I need to be on the creek or Island.

BTW the Nairalander above me hope you're in one of those countries you aforementioned?!...SMH.

If you must travel by water please use life jacket. E get why...



This death was avoidable.

Teach your kids how to swim, E get why.
I'm sure the Average American knows how to swim.

what a terrible way to leave the earth, Rest in power folks

Chai, that was how our boat stopped on our way back from Takwa Bay, in the middle of the ocean, as in you'll be tired before you swim reach the banks. Thank God for other rescue boats.

Please, do not travel by water at Night! Always check the condition of the boats before you board. The owners are always greedy!

Finally, Lagos state government should gather all the rickety boats and burn them to ashes or donate them firewood to Iya Bukky.
