Two Nigerians, Amate Mohamed Amate, 26, and Emine-Imoh Daniel, 23, both students at the Curtin University Malaysia, died after they drowned following a boat mishap yesterday.

The bodies of the Nigerians were reported missing when their boat, carrying seven people, capsized while on a research trip.

The surviving five, three students and the boat operator and a tour guide, managed to swim to safety.

According to the Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department Director, Nor Hisham Mohammad, the body of Amate Mohamed Amate, was found about 50m from where the boat had capsized at 12.45pm while that of Emine-Imoh Daniel, was found about 30m from where the boat had capsized at 5.15pm.

Their bodies have been deposited at the Miri Hospital for post-mortem.

Sad.

Rest in peace.

Were they wearing life jackets?seemed odd only the Nigerians died,and this might indicate they don't know how to swim.

Exactly why nothing on earth can make me go near water,I can't swim.

This Malaysia self. Its like a death trap for Nigerians. Either they are being executed for one offence or the other, or they are dying from different forms of accidents...

RIP

On the contrary....

While will anyone go on a boat trip, if you can't swim??

Na wa

Am just suspecting this malaysia of a country.

horrible news about Nigerians in Malaysia is getting outta hands o

Ahhhh, this is sad

Quite unfortunate... RIP

Something is wrong somewhere.
Of seven passengers, two died, and those two are Nigerians.
No don't tell me it's incidental that they both couldn't swim, yet they both didn't have life jackets.
Our foreign affairs ministry really need to wake up and account for the lives of every Nigerian in the diaspora .

I think swimming should be incorporated in the school curriculum in Nigeria.

Rest In Peace Nigerians.

I dey feel you Truly if they could not swim a life jacket would have being provided.
We need a solid explanations please.

Make every life of a Nigerian count...
Meanwhile to the dead

So in essence, only the Nigerians knew nothing about swimming
What happens to issuing Life Jacket before using the water ways or the Life jacket is solely reserved for the life guards

Abeg make una talk true...
