Saturday’s nightmare on Yobe River just got deadlier toll jumps from 25 to 29 as four more bodies surface from the Nguru LGA wreck. Rescue ops grind on for 8-10 still missing.
YOSEMA boss Dr Mohammad Goje dropped the grim update Monday from Damaturu: 13 injured folks treated and home. Overloaded canoe from Jigawa’s Adiyani flipped in Garbi town (7:48pm), hauling 50+ farmers/traders—230km from capital.
Gov Mai Mala Buni’s on it: YOSEMA teams with feds for water safety crackdown—life jackets mandatory, policing enforced. “Institutionalize jackets for every rider,” Goje stresses. Preventable pain.
