Nigeria: Search and rescue mission for passengers in Niger river

Nigeria boat accident: More bodies retrieved

Nigerian rescue workers pulled more than three dozen bodies from the water on Thursday after an overcrowded river boat sank leaving more than 150 people missing and feared drowned. Survivors and officials said only 20 people were rescued on Wednesday when the wooden boat ferrying passengers to a market broke apart and sank travelling between central Niger state and Wara in northwest Kebbi state. Nine more bodies have been recovered. So far 45 bodies have been found. The search continues for more bodies, Abubakar Shehu, a local official supervising the rescue operation, told AFP. River boat tragedies are common on Nigerian waterways mostly due to overcrowding, weather and lack of maintenance, but Wednesday s toll would be one of the deadliest in recent years.
