Three feared dead as boat capsizes in Rivers State

Three persons have been confirmed dead after a boat capsized in Rivers State

It was gathered that upon the sudden boat accident, some passengers were able to survive however, the three passengers including the lady wearing a life jacket drowned to their death.

 

 

A Facebook user and eyewitness identified as  Otunba Barryda Leyiga shared the report  on social media in a post which read;

Another Boat Mishap in Rivers State, Exposes the Incompetence of those who oversee the Ministry of Transport. A Ministry that cannot provide or inspect life jackets being used in the state. Several boat Mishaps, several lives lost. Nothing done by the Ministry.

He continued;

She wore a life Jacket, it was expired. Like the many others that are being used even now.
No regulation and supervision of the water transporters. The Ministry of Transport see these boat owners as locals and don’t get involved in their activities

The Commissioner of Transport murdered these ones by his incompetence.

And as a Rivers Man i call on the RSHA to demand and inquiry into the activities of the water transport sector of the Ministry of transport. And submit same to the Governor, Recommending the Sack of the Leadership of that Ministry.

One year, How many Rivers People have died through Water Transportation. Rivers Lives Matter.

If nothing is done Joe Blankson died for Nothing, and We deserve Buhari

 

May the gentle souls of the departed rest in perfect peace
