Over 100 Die in Nigeria Boat Accident

A boat carrying about 300 wedding guests capsized on the Niger River in northern Nigeria, killing over 100 people, including many women and children.
The boat hit a tree trunk in the darkness and overturned around 3 a.m. Monday morning.
Many drowned before authorities were alerted hours later.
About 144 people were rescued, but dozens are still missing as search efforts continue.
Boat accidents are tragically common in Nigeria due to lack of safety regulations and overcrowding.
