Published on April 03, 2025 at 09:49 AM

A fully loaded Lagos Ferry Services, LAGFERRY, passenger boat, Igbega Eko, caught fire at the Ipakodo Ferry Terminal in Ikorodu, Lagos, shortly after departing for Victoria Island.

The incident occurred at approximately 6:45 AM, sending panic among passengers.

Fortunately, the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) safety officers responded promptly to the distress call, rescuing all passengers and crew on board.

Although no casualties were recorded, four passengers suffered minor injuries and are currently receiving medical attention.

According to LASWA, their emergency response team worked closely with LAGFERRY boat operators and first responders to manage the situation effectively.

“We are currently conducting thorough preliminary investigations into the cause of the incident, collaborating with LAGFERRY and other stakeholders to ensure a comprehensive assessment,” LASWA said in a statement.

“Safety is our utmost priority, and we are committed to implementing any necessary recommendations to enhance fire prevention measures throughout the Lagos waterways.

“LASWA assures the public that all safety protocols remain intact and ferry operations are proceeding as scheduled. We encourage all passengers to stay calm and adhere to safety guidelines while enjoying our waterways,” it added.
