Story from Kenneth AFOR, Lagos
The Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) has confirmed that five passengers on board in a boat heading to Badagry Friday afternoon capsized few minutes after casting out due to the heavy downpour.
The Incident happened five minutes after the boat left the Five Cowries Terminal.
An official of LASWA said the five passengers were rescued and the boat was moved to harbour until the rain subsided.
“No Cause for Alarm! The boat was going to Badagry but unfortunately stopped 5 minutes after casting out of Five Cowries Terminal.
“All passengers have been successfully rescued while the boat moved to safer harbour till the heavy rain stopped and will be taking to dry dock for technical assessment,” the official said.
Some residents in the state stayed indoors and allowed the heavy downpour which lasted for several hours to subside before continuing their normal activities.
