On January 19, 2025, a tragic incident occurred when a passenger boat capsized en route from Port Harcourt to Bonny Island in Rivers State, Nigeria. The boat, carrying 22 passengers, capsized near the Yellow Platform area close to Bonny Island around 5 pm, reportedly due to a sudden windstorm.
Sadly, three individuals lost their lives in the incident: two adult males and a toddler. The bodies of the two men were recovered promptly, while the child’s body was found later. The remaining 19 passengers were rescued and provided with medical attention.
The Bonny Local Government Council has expressed deep condolences to the bereaved families and is conducting an investigation into the incident. Additionally, the council is looking into reports of another passenger boat that reportedly passed the scene without offering assistance to the victims.
