Seven of the passengers onboard, however, escaped death by the whiskers as the corpses of the deceased were recovered and buried immediately.
Malam Danburan, an Assistant Secretary at the emirate, said in an interview with newsmen on Tuesday that the unfortunate accident occurred on Monday between 5 and 6pm. “The boat was conveying passengers, who were mostly locals, from Garafini Kodo to Garafini when the accident happened,” he maintained.
