SPECIAL REPORT!! Why Is No One Talking About The Unsung Hero Who Died After Rescuing 13 People In Boat Accident In Rivers State?

CNN will not air it, Chanels, AIT may not show this, but we can make it go viral like the case of Thai cave boys and Mamoudou Gassama who climbed building in Paris in 30 seconds to save a four-year-old boy who was hanging from a balcony .
.

A 36-year-old contractor, Joe Blankson, has been hailed a hero by residents of Bakana, Rivers State, for single-handedly rescuing 13 passengers, but lost his life during the boat accident that claimed the lives of six persons, but surprisingly no one is talking about it .
.

It was gathered that it was while the father of two was trying to rescue the 14th person that he died in the river and his body was retrieved a day after. A survivor had blamed the boat accident on the speed of the boat captain .

Survivors attributed the tragedy to the dirt on the waterways. The state Police Public Relations Officer, Nnamdi Omoni, insisted that one person died in the accident and not six .

He added that Blankson might have died of exhaustion after rescuing more than 12 persons. He said, “The report we got from the police in that area was that only one person died .

The man that died had rescued more than 12 persons and could have died out of exhaustion. They were 24 and 23 were rescued. The only person that died has been found and he was buried the day he was found.”

Let us learn to praise and adore our heroes too because this didn’t happen in the western world doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be talked about. If we stay together one we will be stronger forever .
