Someone has been confirmed dead after a boat going from Ugborodo people group in Warri South-West committee range of Delta State inverted on Friday.
No less than seven people have been proclaimed missing after the mishap.
The incident, which happened only three days after an intra-group fracas asserted two lives in the oil-rich Itsekiri people group of Ugborodo, was however said to be a natural accident.
The Warri Territory Administrator of the Delta State Police Command, Mohammed Shaba, disclosed to The Country that Friday's episode has no connection with Tuesday's shared conflict.
"It was a characteristic accident, no assault or anything. Just a single individual passed on and no one specified anything about missing people. It was only a characteristic mischance," Shaba said.
