Two people were confirmed dead, with many missing following an evening fire on Monday on the Bonny/Nembe Jetty in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
Buildings, speedboats and several other items were also destroyed.
The cause of this fire was unknown as of press time.
Reports said the jetty served as a transit point for people, especially traders, to some riverine communities, including Bonny in Rivers State and Nembe in Bayelsa State.
The Secretary to the Rivers State Government, Tammy Danagogo, who visited the scene as directed by Governor Siminalayi Fubara for an assessment, said the State government has promised to ensure that the ugly incident does not happen again.
