A video sent by Yiaga africa and Kimpact Development initiative, obtained by TVC News shows all the occupants struggling to save their lives amidst the troubled waters as some were seen struggling to swim their way to the bank of the river.
Local divers tried to rescue them, and fortunately the INEC ad-hoc staff made use of lifejackets.
Though the number of occupants could not be readily determined as at the time the video was shot there were no casualties as rescue efforts are already ongoing.
However, a lot of elections materials were lost.
