Man Rescues 13 Persons in a Boat Mishap, Dies While Rescuing the 14th in PH(pics by CastedBlog: 10:31am On Aug 01, 2018 |
The family of Joe Blankson a 36-year-old man has been thrown into moruning following his painful death in Rivers state. Joe a contractor who supplies diesel died while rescuing victims of a boat accident on Saturday, He had single-handedly rescued 13 people when a boat capsized along the Abonnema-Bakana waterways in Degema, Rivers state. Fishermen around the area rescued some people while Blankson succeeded in rescuing 13 people all on his own. As the father-of-two attempted to rescue a 14th person, he died in the river and his body was retrieved a day later. In all, six people died in the boat mishap, according to eyewitness reports. But the state Police Public Relations Officer, Nnamdi Omoni, insisted that only one person died in the accident and not six. It is believed Blackson might have died of exhaustion after going multiple times to save 13 people. Residents of Bakama in the Degema Local Government Area of Rivers State have hailed the young father a hero for his selfless act which cost him his life. The boat was conveying 25 passengers from Abonnema wharf to Bakana before the accident happened around Iborama.

RIP.. After saving the 13th person, you were already a hero, why further the risk?? Now you just rendered these cute children fatherless, depriving them of the feeling of growing up having a father. . You just made this beautiful lady a widow. 9 Likes |

sad. Very sad. After rescuing 13? The 13 people rescued, why didn`t they assist in rescuing others.? I`m sure they must have been thanking God for rescuing them without knowing that they were rescued to rescue others. RIP young man. Someone just enrolled into the widowhood class. 13 Likes 2 Shares |
