 In the Damua state, now eight people have been confirmed dead after a cano accident in Yola south local government area. A boat carrying 23 passengers had capsized in Njuwa lake at Rugange, a village in the Yola south local government area early on Friday, where the government confirmed one dead as such operations continued. Now eight people have been rescued and eight bodies found, eleven seven other people yet to be accounted for. The executive secretary of the Damua state emergency management agency Mohammed Sulayman gave the update when he accompanied the state deputy governor, Professor Khaled Tawwa Farrautwa, on the same place he visits the families of the victims. Because two bodies are here to be identified within an hour, are here to be recovered within an hour, and because they are our people, it is going to be noted to them that we are here to cement all the families because this lost its hours and not just one by giving each. We had gone to the dancing settlement before we began to see what would be here. Because it is all included in the beat and to bond together with the people. As you can see, the deputy governor represented the governor and from the outcome of what he has seen, definitely the state government is going to provide them with assistance, an immediate assistance for that matter because most of the victims seems to be people that contribute to the income of their families.
