Nine people kissed death on Wednesday night when the boat they were travelling in lost its engine and was washed by winds to the shores.
According to the police, officers from the marine unit last night responded to a boating incident that occurred at Kasenyi Landing Site.
The incident involved a boat which first dropped off some people at Lukuba Landing Site at around 8 pm. However, on its way to Kisaba Landing Site on Lake Victoria, it got into an accident.
The boat engines reportedly got entangled in fishing nets, causing one to fall into the water.
The boat was then hit by strong winds up to the mainland near Lukuba.
9 people who were on the boat all got off safely.
“Both engines have been retrieved from the waters by our marine officers,” says a police statement.
