Kwara

Condemning the killing of the Olukoro of Koro in Kwara state, as "reckless, shocking, and abominable", Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq vowed that the authorities would catch those responsible.

Mohammed Alhassan, 22, was one of about 300 people travelling on the overcrowded wooden boat in Patigi in Kwara State.

The wooden boat was ferrying people to Kwara state across a river from neighbouring Niger state after a wedding ceremony when it capsized on Monday night.

Kwara state police spokesperson Ajayi Okasanmi told Reuters on Wednesday that 103 people had been confirmed dead.

The vessel was carrying more than 300 passengers travelling from Kwara state to Niger state after a wedding ceremony.
