•At least 27 people died, 100 missing after a boat capsized in northern Nigeria
68% Informative
About 200 passengers were on the boat that was going from the state of Kogi to neighboring state of Niger when it capsized.
Authorities have not confirmed what caused the sinking but local media suggested the boat may have been overloaded.
Overcrowding on boats is common in remote parts of Nigeria where the lack of good roads leaves many with no alternative routes.
