Yola—No fewer than 20 persons mainly Nigerians have been confirmed killed following a boat mishap within the Cameroun territorial waters.
The ill fated boat accident which took off from Garwa was heading to Yola in Adamawa State, when the incident happened.
It was gathered that the boat with over 50 passengers was over loaded with iron rods and other building materials with a destination at Dasin in Fufore Local Government Area of Adamawa State.
Locals within the Nigerian territorial waters confirmed that the boat took off late Monday night despite repeated advice for the operators to shift the journey till the following morning, but the advice was ignored.
