A tragic boat accident on the Oti River in Dambai, Krachi East Municipality, has left a pregnant woman and two others missing.
The incident occurred Tuesday evening as the boat, carrying 10 passengers from Dambai market to Ingyari, a fishing community, capsized.
The Krachi East National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) officer, Jacob Desiavour, has indicated that seven passengers were rescued with the assistance of the Assembly and Navy operatives, and were taken to Dambai Health Centre for medical care.
Tragically, a four-year-old girl was pronounced dead.
Desiavour mentioned ongoing rescue efforts to locate the missing individuals, hampered by challenging river conditions.
He urged residents along the riverbank to provide any pertinent information to aid the rescue operation.
Families of the missing are anxiously awaiting updates, particularly the pregnant woman’s family, deeply concerned for her safety and that of her unborn child.
