This is coming barely a month after a speed boat capsized in Bayeku area of Ikorodu leaving many dead.

The boat with 22 passengers was heading towards Bayeku from Oke-Ira when it was hit from behind by another boat which was on top speed.
Both were said to have been hit by water waves and could not help the situation as the one behind allegedly lost control and hit the ill-fated boat which then capsized.

It was gathered tha seventeen persons were rescued while four bodies were recovered while one was still missing at press time.

The four bodies were said to be carpenters who went for jobs in Ajah and were returning to Agbowa area after a week.

A boat driver said some of the passengers were said to have refused to wear their life jackets for the fear of Ebola Virus Diseases, EVD.

“The boat operator was dumbfounded and could not recollect the number of passengers in the boat. It was when we got to the jetty that we cross-checked the number and we went back only to find four bodies inside the boat,” the diver said.
