ABUJA, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- At least four bodies were recovered after a boat capsized late on Monday in Nigeria's southwestern state of Lagos, the local waterways authority said Tuesday.
Eleven others have been rescued so far following the incident which occurred in the Ikorodu area, Wuraola Alake, a spokesperson for the Lagos State Waterways Authority, told reporters in the state capital of Ikeja.
The exact cause of the incident is yet to be confirmed, Alake said.
Boat accidents are frequently reported in the West African country, often attributed to factors such as overloading, adverse weather conditions, and operational errors. ■
