The deaths of 26 people, mostly women and children, have been confirmed, and many are still missing.

In Nigeria, at least 26 people have died and many more are missing after a ferry capsized in a reservoir, Reuters reports.

According to local authorities, the boat was carrying more than 100 people, including women and children. People drive to their farms through a large dam.

“26 people, mostly women and children, have been confirmed dead, more than 30 people have been rescued, and a joint rescue operation by the maritime police and local divers in collaboration with the Niger State Emergency Management Agency is ongoing, ” said the governor’s spokesman.

It will be remembered that in August in Nigeria, the roof of a mosque collapsed while hundreds of people were inside.

And in June, 103 people died when a boat carrying wedding guests capsized in Nigeria’s Kwara state.
