THE State Waterways Authority (LASWA), today, debunked the rumour of a boat mishap in Falomo area of the state.
In a statement by the agency’s Public Affairs Officer, Wuraola Alake, it said: “The attention of the State Waterways Authority has been drawn to a video making round the social media falsely claiming that a boat mishap occurred at the five Cowries Terminal this morning April 26, 2022.
“The incident in the purported boat mishap video was actually a routine safety simulation exercise being carried out by the LASWA Water Guard Corps, a Waterways training demonstration which is part of LASWA safety preparedness against any possible incident on the State Inland Waterways.
“LASWA wishes to state categorically that no such incident of boat mishap whatsoever occurred anywhere on the state Inland Waterways in recent time. we therefore urge the general public to disregard this video as it was done unprofessionally by an unknown source without proper investigation.”
