The ADSEMA boss assured that rescue efforts were on to determine the fate of the passengers that were yet to be tracked.
At the scene of the canoe accident, the deputy governor said a directive had been given for provision of life jackets for canoe users, to check casualty in case of future accidents.

The Nigerian troops of ‘Operation Hadin Kai’ North East, have killed six Boko Haram terrorists after a raid on their camp in the fringes of Sambisa Forest in Borno State.
It was gathered that the terrorists were eliminated during a fighting patrol by the troops in conjunction with the Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) and HYBRID forces on September 7, 2023, at Garin Ba’aba in Bama Local Government Area of the state.
Bama is located about 70 kilometres from Maiduguri and is also at the centre of the Sambisa forests.
DAILY POST learnt that the terrorists tried to show some resistance, but the troops engaged and neutralised them.
“We entered their village at Garin Ba’abba, which is inside Sambisa forest, we encountered their surveillance team known as “Murabitun” and instantly naturalised four among them.
“The rest of the Boko Haram began screaming Allahu Akhbar, Allahu Akhbar, and started firing from their position. But in the gunbattle that ensued, we gunned down two more terrorists while the rest escaped,” said some soldiers who participated in the raid.
