Baku-APA. A boat carrying over 90 passengers capsized on Ghana’s Lake Volta, killing two and leaving 10 missing, a rescue official said, APA reports quoting AFP.
"The boat was carrying 92 passengers when the disaster occurred. Some survivors were rescued by the villagers while others managed to swim ashore," Amadu Baba Seidu, a disaster management coordinator in the area told AFP.
The accident took place late Tuesday in the Kete-Krachi district, more than 600 kilometres north of the capital Accra.
Search efforts were still underway to find bodies of the 10 still missing in Lake Volta, Ghana’s largest lake.
