LEADERSHIP gathered that one of the passengers was confirmed dead while another was declared missing after the boat named T-BEN departed from Addax Jetty on February 21, 2024 at about 1825 hours for Ibeshe but unfortunately ran over a submerged shoreline concrete in the middle of the channel around the Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge.

In a press statement made available to LEADERSHIP, the head, Public Affairs Unit of LASWA, Wuraola Alake, confirmed that the boat had a collision with the submerged shoreline concrete at a construction site around the power line corridor at the Lekki-Ikoyi Link Bridge.
