A boat accident killed four people and hurt others at a river market in Kebbi State. The canoe flipped over when water rushed inside and made people panic. Many passengers fell into the water and started drowning.

Red Cross workers joined with water officials and local people to help save lives. They pulled several victims from the river during the emergency rescue. Three dead bodies were found on Tuesday and taken to Hikiya village across the water.

The disaster management team leader Nafiu Nuhu explained what happened to reporters. Red Cross members worked hard with the National Inland Waterways Authority to find missing people. Community volunteers also helped during the search and rescue operation.

The accident happened at the busy Yauri town market where many people use boats to travel. Water transport is common in this area but can be dangerous during bad weather. Local officials continue looking for anyone else who might still be missing from the capsized canoe.
