According to NEMA, 22 people were rescued and taken to hospital after the overloaded boat capsized on Friday as it travelled between Bonny Island and Port Harcourt.
NEMA local coordinator Onimode Bandele said: “From our investigation, the capacity of the boat was 25 but it was carrying 34 people.
We also learnt that on August 28, the same boat hit an object which affected its hull and we are not sure if it was repaired before being used again.
