Photo of the only person that died on the boat explosion in Lagos

Emmanuel Onu (pictured above) was the only person who died in the Lagos boat explosion which happened on Friday August 15th. The boat, belonging to Aquitien Oil and Gas, was said to have taken off from V-Craft Jetty in Lekki and was heading towards Apapa be­fore it exploded around Walter Carrington Way, trapping all 10 persons on board. 9 people were injured and taken to different hospitals in Lagos

The Public Relations Of­ficer of the National Emer­gency Management Agen­cy (NEMA) said the boat engine exploded while it was trying to refill gasoline at Capital Oil Jetty at Victoria Island.

Emmanuel's body was recovered from the water shortly after the accident. His service of songs will hold today around 5 at his Lagos residence. He will be buried tomorrow Aug. 22nd at Atan Cemetery in Yaba, Lagos.

    Family of Emmanuel should sue the boat owners to court for vicarious liability. They probably had the engine running while refuelling.

    Linda, your story is wrong o. I work for the company that owns the boat and the boat was not yet in motion when it exploded, It was still at the paradise Jetty at walter carrington. The name of the Company is Aquitane not what you spelt. May his soul rest in peace, its too sad

    I still cant believe you are gone, O what a tragic mystery. Still remember your smiles nd your smooth talk voice. Indeed what our elders say is true, death does not write a letter to the person he visits. U were a good friend, funny and smart. Will surely miss you nd i pray GOD gives your family strength to deal with this immeasurable pain. RIP to a great gem.
