He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship.

He added that the victims have since been buried in a mass grave on Wednesday and warned that the toll might rise.


In a statement on Tuesday, Stanley Nkwocha, special assistant to the president on media and communications, Shettima expressed sadness over the incident.


“My heart aches for those who have had their families torn apart by this disaster,” Shettima was quoted as saying.


“This devastating incident has shaken us all to our core. The federal government stands with the people of Jigawa.


“We are mobilising all necessary resources to support the injured and assist the families affected by this calamity.”


Nkwocha added that Shettima has directed the deployment of NEMA personnel and resources to Jigawa state.
