National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) has recovered 13 more bodies from the ill-fated boat sailing from Mile 2 to Ibeshe, a suburb of Lagos on Saturday.<\/div>\n
\n
\nNEMA zone coordinator in the South-West, Mr Ibrahim Farinloye, made the disclosure in a statement on Sunday in Lagos.<\/p>\n

Farinloye said a total of 17 bodies had been recovered so far from the recovery operations of the missing victims.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cLate yesterday night, two more bodies were recovered in addition to the two earlier recovered in the morning. With this, a total of 17 bodies have been recovered,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Farinloye told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in an interview that the search and rescue operations had ended<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was also observed that wooden boats are not permitted to be used as passenger boat.But it is only at this odd hour that illegal operators always put the lives of unsuspecting passengers at risk,\u2019\u2019 Farinloye said.<\/p>\n

He said that efforts were on to address the gaps with all stakeholders such as the Nigerian Navy\u2019s Special Boat Service, the Association of Boat\/Ferry Operators of Nigeria and the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA), among other<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
