Five persons are feared drowned in Taraba State following a boat mishap over the weekend.
The incident occurred when a boat carrying 14 passengers from Mayo-Reniwo village in Ardo-Kola Local Government Area to a village in Karim-Lamido Local Government capsized midway into the journey.

According to him, while nine of the passengers were successfully rescued, five other passengers were missing and might have drowned.

When contacted, Taraba State Chairman of the Christian Association of Nigeria, Rev. Isaiah Magaji, said he was aware of a boat mishap, but could not ascertain the calibre of persons involved in the accident.
“I am yet to get a clear picture of the incident because the reports that are available to me now are very scanty. I am still expecting detailed report of what actually happened and who are the people involved,” he said. (Agency report)
