He noticed that neighborhood jumpers could save 10 people.
"The pontoon was originating from the Karim Lamido side of the waterway, heading towards Lau when the episode occurred.
"Nearby jumpers could safeguard ten people out of the twelve including the rider, however tragically, two people are as yet absent and we are presently looking for their bodies.
"Generally during this time, the stream is high and solid so you can not anticipate that they will even now be alive, along these lines, we are endeavoring endeavors to at any rate recuperate their bodies," he said.
Taraba State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP David Misal who affirmed the mischance said 10 out of the twelve people in the pontoon were saved alive while the scan for the two was all the while continuous.
