Axadle Times international–Monitoring.At least 40 people were reported missing after a boat carrying over 50 passengers capsized in Nigeria’s northwestern Sokoto State.
The National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) said its Sokoto operations office deployed a response team to assist in rescue efforts, with about 10 people rescued. NEMA’s director general, Zubaida Umar, confirmed the boat was headed to Goronyo Market when it overturned, and local officials suggested overloading may have caused the accident.
Boat accidents are common in Nigeria, particularly during the annual rainy season, from March to October, when rivers and lakes overflow.
