A
woman, who identified herself as Mrs. Feyi Akere, has shown up to say
35-year-old Isaac Akere, one of the victims of the Ikorodu boat mishap,
was her husband.
Isaac, who was the last of the nine victims to
be recovered from the Majidun River, was said to be planning his wedding
with his fiancée, Foluke, this week Saturday.Tragedy struck last
Wednesday when both Isaac and Foluke took a commercial boat belonging to
Bell Marine Services along with 19 others from the Ebute Ero, Lagos
Island en route Majidun, Ikorodu. The boat capsized midway into the
journey due to overloading and speeding, killing the intending couple,
two pregnant women, a 13-year-old girl, and four others.Twelve of the
victims reportedly survived the accident.
Our
correspondent reported on Monday that Isaac’s corpse was discovered on
Saturday after the family raised a rescue team of fishermen to search
for his body when it was not seen at the Ikorodu mortuary. Few
hours
after the report was published, accompanied with the picture of Isaac
and Foluke, 36-year-old Feyi said she got calls from friends and family
members asking if she had divorced her husband.
