A boat has capsized in Sokoto State in northwestern Nigeria, resulting in a major loss of life.12 At least 46 people have died,1 with another source reporting at least 50 deaths including at least 40 children among the victims.2 A local official stated that "we already buried 46 bodies, and five others have just been brought out of the river."2 The vessel was carrying more than 70 passengers, predominantly children.1
Rescue and recovery efforts are underway in the Gorau area of Sokoto State.1 According to police, 16 people have been rescued and 15 remain missing.1 The overloaded ferry was transporting people to work at farms when the incident occurred.2 Officials from Nigeria's National Inland Waterways Authority confirmed the death toll,2 while the country's National Emergency Management Agency noted that the remote location of Gorau has complicated response operations.1
The incident adds to a troubling pattern of maritime accidents in the region during the rainy season.2 In December 2024, a boat capsized on the Niger River, killing 54 people,1 and in January of this year, a ferry traveling between Jigawa and Yobe states overturned, resulting in at least 26 drowning deaths.1
