    By Miriam Humbe

    The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, on behalf of the Nigeria Police Force, deeply commiserated with the Government and people of Kogi State, particularly the families affected by the boat tragedy on the 29th of November, 2024.

    Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) disclosed this in a statement signed on Saturday.

    The mishap, which occurred along the Dambo-Ebuchi waterways of the River Niger in Kupa Local Government Area, involved over 160 passengers, with 24 rescued and others still unaccounted for.

    In response to this tragic incident, the IGP has directed the Force Marine Officer to lead a comprehensive investigation into the cause of the mishap.

    The aim is to identify contributing factors and develop actionable strategies to prevent similar occurrences on the nation’s waterways.

    This investigation will also provide insights into improving the overall safety and emergency response systems for water transport across the country.

    The IGP further assures the people of Kogi State and Nigerians at large of the unwavering commitment of the Police Force in coordinating with relevant agencies to ensure the swift rescue of missing passengers.

    Resources and operational modalities have been activated to intensify search and rescue efforts.

    Additionally, the IGP called on waterway operators, boat owners, and other stakeholders to work closely with the Force Marine Department in adopting and enforcing critical safety measures to protect passengers and operators alike.

    The Nigeria Police Force remains resolute in enhancing safety on waterways, ensuring justice for victims, and mitigating future risks through strengthened collaborations and proactive measures.
