No fewer than 34 students of Madinatu Ahbab Islammiya School, Badau, in Kano State and their teacher traveling from Badua to Bagwai town were killed in a boat mishap, yesterday.
Other passengers in the ill-fated boat included the driver and five other passengers.
An eyewitness, Nasiru Ado Bagwai, said about five persons were rescued and rushed to Bagwai General Hospital.
Recall that a similar accident happened on the same river some years ago in which 18 women traveling for a wedding ceremony died.
