A viral video making the rounds on social media has stirred outrage after a boat transporting passengers to Lekki, Lagos, allegedly ran out of fuel midway through the journey.

In the footage, visibly distressed passengers can be seen confronting the boat driver, accusing him of gross negligence and endangering lives. According to those aboard, the incident occurred right in the middle of the waterway, sparking fear and confusion.

One of the passengers claim the boat driver showed little concern for the situation, appearing unbothered and offering no immediate solution as the boat drifted helplessly.

Watch the video below;

Many netizens have called on the Lagos State Waterways Authority (LASWA) to investigate the matter and hold those responsible accountable.

Read some netizens’ reactions below;

@NPOreports: A very scary situation yet the passengers appear calm but what can they do? Another indication that everyone just does what he wants with no consequences and the regulators are helpless

@temitayo: All we talk about in Nigeria is bad governance but we need to start addressing irresponsible citizenry! In a working sane developed country, this driver will suffer heavy consequences, might even have his license revoked but for Naija, everything is cruise!The same thing Danfo drivers do on land has been exported to the sea, hope they wont export it to the air someday!

@chababy81: This is very risky oo

@oracle: The amount of R!sk Nigɘrians take is too much. How can pɘople travɘl using water?

@prince: This is risky
