No fewer than nine corpses have been recovered from the Sunday Canoe mishap at Imude in Oto – Awori Local Council Development Area of Lagos State.
The commissioner for Rural Development, Mr. Conrnelius Ojelabi who gave the figure, said only two out of the eleven people in the boat survived when the boat capsized.
According to him; “Two people were rescued and are responding to treatment. The other nine persons in the canoe drowned. Their bodies had been recovered completely and were buried yesterday (Monday).”
“It was the pressure from speed boat that caused the canoe to capsize and not any natural disaster.”
The commissioner assured that the state government would investigate the incident further to prevent a recurrence.
