How Villagers Perished in Boats Mishap after Wedding in Kwara State

An unconfirmed number of villagers have perished in a boat mishap on the River Niger while returning from a wedding in Kwara State.

PRNigeria gathered that the incident occurred at midnight between Monday and Tuesday while the villagers were returning to Ebbu village after a wedding ceremony at Gboti community around Patigi.

An emergency management official told PRNigeria that the boat capsized due to heavy rainfall as the river overflew its banks.

The officer added that humanitarian efforts had commenced to rescue more victims and support the survivors .
