Over 100 wedding guests perish in Nigeria boat tragedy.

Over 100 people, including children, were killed when an overloaded wooden boat carrying wedding guests capsized in the Niger River in Nigeria. The boat was ferrying people from Niger state to neighboring Kwara state after a wedding ceremony when it keeled over, sending passengers into the river. The death toll has risen to 106, and at least 144 people have been rescued. Overcrowding and poor maintenance are responsible for most boat accidents on Nigerian waterways, which are not uncommon. Nigerian President Bola Tinubu ordered officials to provide immediate assistance to the survivors and families of the capsize victims.
