As the boat broke into two, we now started shouting but nobody was around to help us at that time because some of the fishermen and bo
at drivers had gone home. The men in the vehicle who were thrown into the river tried to swim to the river bank. Some of us escaped while others who could not make it died in the river. In my own village, Ebu, we lost 62 people, excluding my brother who is still missing. We have not been able to find him till today On Monday morning, the corpses of some people who died in the accident were brought out of the river.
When we could not see him, we went to the river bank and told some divers to help us look for him, but in the evening, they returned and said that they could not see him. Till now, he has yet to show up in the village and his corpse has not been found in any part of the river. We don’t know whether the river has taken his corpse to another village.All rights reserved.
