The Taraba State Government says no fewer than twenty corpses of victims of a recent boat mishap have been recovered.This was disclosed by the state’s Commissioner for Special Duties and Social Development Saviour Noku shortly after visiting the Binneri community alongside the state deputy governor where the boat capsized last Saturday
He is insisting that the government will investigate deeply to unravel the root cause of the boat mishap and punish culprits accordingly. Investigation indicated that the boat was overloaded with bags of cement, building irons, food items, animals, and over 100 passengers including children. But it hit a wooden barricade on the waterways, hindering its movement, hence the capsizing.
”We got stocked on the water two hours after take-off due to some barricades made by fishermen. I tried all I could to maneuver, but I did not succeed which led to the ugly incident,” he said.Suleiman Audu is a middle-aged businessman who lost his sister and her baby in the accident.
