Up to 166 persons feared dead as Boat Capsized of Calabar Coast

not the actual bodies
At least 166 Nigerians were feared dead when a boat they were travelling in sank about 40 nautical miles off the coast of Calabar, the Cross River State capital.
Eyewitnesses said that the passengers were travelling in a large wooden boat, which departed from Oron, Akwa Ibom State on Friday and was heading for Gabon when it capsized off Malabo, near the coast of Equatorial Guinea.
A marine transporter at the Calabar Inland Waterways, also confirmed the incident. He added that the two known survivors were a young boy and a woman who had clung to a gas cylinder and were rescued by fishermen.
He said that the passengers of the boat were mostly Igbo traders who were heading for Gabon. He said that the traders were mostly from the South-East states and headed to Oron in Akwa Ibom to board the wooden boat because it was cheap.
 45 corpses of some of the victims have been depositedthe mood at the morgue of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, UCTH, and people thronged the hospital to try to identify the remains of loved ones.
Official sources said the victims’ corpses were brought to Calabar instead of Malabo, where the mishap occurred, because they were believed to be Nigerians.

Apply 2 to 3 inches of mulch over the plants root system once all foliage is removed
and discarded. Owning a regular lawn mower does not mean you have to give up on mulching your yard; you just have to
be willing to do some work. The less competition, the better off your plants will be.

offer. A once great nation is sliding down the toilet and most everyone,
especially politicians, are lying endlessly as it does, as if the nation’s decay should be ignored rather than honestly combated by its
citizens. There are many specialists that deal in printing press service online.
