In a viral video, Festus explained that, “I went to celebrate Christmas with my people. So on the way coming back, January 8, I load people who have no money to pay transport with my family.
“Accidentally, our boat capsized in front of the LNG, where there is no rescue, so about 11 people died and out of that 11 people, five are my sons and daughters, five are my children.
“We lost everything and there is no way for me even to survive. Everything in my life; phone, money that I will carry survive myself. Everything; my boat and other things. No business, no way, the way to start I don’t know.”
