In a sequel nobody asked for, a Niger State emergency rescue team reported that an overloaded vessel met its doom after heroically crashing into a submerged tree stump. Yes, the villain wasn't a shark or a storm, but a tree stump hiding below the water like a passive-aggressive ninja. It's unclear how many passengers were aboard, but apparently, the vessel was carrying enough people to dare nature’s best bonsai ambush. No rescue from the trunk of doom could save this floating sardine can, demonstrating that when Nigerian rivers meet poor load management, disaster is only one calm stroke away.
