The Taraba state government on Saturday said it has recovered 20 bodies from the recent boat mishap that happened in Karim Lamido Local Government.
The state’s commissioner for Special Duties and Social Development, Saviour Noku, said this during a visit to Binneri, the community where the mishap happened. He visited the community alongside the deputy governor of the state, Aminu Alkali.
Meanwhile, a resident of the community, who declined to give his name for safety reasons, said more bodies have been recovered but the community leaders resolved to bury them secretly because they fear the state government would accuse them of overloading the boat.
