A boat conveying journalists across flooded parts of Sampou community in Kolokuma Opokuma Local Government Area of Bayelsa State on Saturday capsized and threw the four occupants into the water.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, the boat was carrying four journalists covering the governorship elections, including its correspondent.
The journalists were returning from a polling station when the incident happened and left the victims submerged.
However, the timely intervention of sympathisers saved the journalists whose mobile phones, cameras and recorders were drenched.
Flood had submerged many parts of Amasoma, Yenagoa and parts of Sagbama, a development that displaced polling stations.
