Mr. Kipo Sulemana, the Bole District Director of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO), confirmed the occurrence to the Ghana News Agency in Tamale on Saturday. According to Mr. Sulemana, two individuals managed to survive the incident, while around five individuals are still unaccounted for. These people were coming from the northern side and when they got to a point, their canoe capsized. NADMO's investigation revealed that the boat was carrying an excessive number of passengers and goods, which likely contributed to the accident. As a result, NADMO is relying on local residents to assist in the search and rescue operation for those who are missing.
