A Nigerian man has shared a harrowing video capturing the moment he was reportedly denied access to a lifeboat as the cargo ship he was working on began sinking.
The footage shows the vessel partially submerged, with sections of the ship visible above the waterline while other parts had already gone beneath the sea.
According to the man, a rescue boat arrived at the scene, but he was denied entry, though he did not disclose the reason for being turned away.
It remains unclear how he and other crew members ultimately made it to safety, and further details about the incident, including the location, the cause of the sinking, and the fate of other crew members, have not been disclosed.
The video has since circulated online, drawing concern from viewers over both the sinking itself and the reported denial of access to the rescue boat, an aspect of the incident that has raised questions about safety protocols during maritime emergencies.
