 Five Dead, 20 Missing as Speedboats Collide in Delta


At least five people have been confirmed dead, while 20 others remain missing following a collision between two speedboats along the waterways in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State.


The tragic incident, which occurred on Monday evening, involved boats transporting passengers returning from a burial ceremony. Eyewitnesses attributed the crash to poor visibility, noting that many passengers were not wearing life jackets.


Delta State Police Command spokesperson, SP Bright Edafe, confirmed the accident on Wednesday, stating that six injured survivors had been rescued and were receiving treatment at a hospital in Warri.


“This is a tragic accident, and we are working with marine units and local divers to locate the missing passengers,” Edafe said.


A witness, Emmanuel Okoro, described the scene as chaotic, with people screaming for help. “Some managed to swim to safety, but many others disappeared beneath the water,” he recounted.


Rescue operations are ongoing as emergency responders and local volunteers continue searching for the missing victims.
