Strong gusts on the Lake reportedly forced some passengers to end their journey, according to eyewitnesses.
However, the rescuer claims that the two who perished were returning to their island communities from Kete Krachi, the municipal capital, on a fishing boat after the boat they were riding in abandoned them on another island due to a storm. “They claimed that the reason they were travelling through Kotoku was so that they could disembark one passenger there. They didn’t aware they were avoiding the community because it was late at night.
He explained, “So they split up to curve to go back and release the passenger, and in the process, he lost control of the boat and it capsized.
The canoe’s driver, who is reportedly a fisherman, has managed to survive.
