Four individuals have tragically lost their lives after a boat carrying seven young men capsized on the Volta Lake.
A report by Accra-based Starr FM said the boat was traveling from Agbega Porpornya to a neighboring community in the Upper Manya Krobo district of the Eastern Region.
Three of the seven passengers survived the incident, with two of them currently receiving medical treatment at the Asesewa Government Hospital.
However, four individuals remain missing, and a search and recovery operation is underway.
The operation is being led by the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) with support from local volunteers.
This tragic incident highlights the ongoing dangers on the Volta Lake, where similar accidents have claimed many lives over the years.
The lack of life jackets for community members living along the lake continues to pose a significant risk, especially for women and children who regularly travel by boat.
