schema:articleBody	Dozens of people were missing in northwest Nigeria on Wednesday after an overloaded boat ferrying around 160 passengers sank in the Niger River, a local official said. The boat left central Niger state and was heading to Wara in northwest Kebbi state when it broke apart and sank, Abdullahi Buhari Wara, administrative head of Ngaski district said. "A rescue operation is underway but only 22 survivors and one dead body have been recovered," Wara said. "We are talking of around 140 passengers still missing." River boat accidents are common on Nigerian waterways mostly due to overcrowding, bad weather and lack of maintenance, particularly in the annual rainy season. Wara blamed the Kebbi accident on overloading as the boat was meant to ferry not more than 80 passengers. The vessel was also loaded with bags of sand from a gold mine, the official said. Early this month 30 people drowned when an overloaded boat capsized in central Niger state. The boat ferrying 100 local traders split into two after hitting a stump during a storm as they were returning from a local market, according to emergency officials. The Niger is West Africa's main river running in a crescent through Guinea to Nigeria's Niger Delta and is a key local trade route for some of the countries. amu/pma/jz
