A boat capsizes in northwest Nigeria drowning at least 40 people, President Bola Tinubu says.

The accident happened in Zamfara state, as farmers were trying to get to their land.

The boat was carrying mostly farmers who use the crossing regularly to sell produce at the markets.

Boat accidents are common in remote communities across Nigeria because of overloading.
