Three people have been

Lagos when the boat capsized in the middle of the sea.
Although there was yet to
be a report on the state of safety of the remaining seventeen accident victims,
but three were confirmed dead at the scene of the accudent Wednesday night.
“Three people have died and
five others missing as boat conveying 20 passengers capzised mid-sea in Lagos
yesterday night,” a source told The Guardian.
“A 20-capacity passenger
boat with 18 passengers and two crew members had capzised mid-sea enroute Ojo
from Coconut jetty, a suburb in Lagos.”
However, efforts made to
speak with the spokesperson for Lagos State Emergency Management Agency Kehinde
Adebayo, proved abortive as phone calls were unreplied as at the time of filing
this report.
