On July 28, 2018, a boat capsized in Rivers State. In the chaos, Joseph Blankson dove into the river again and again, rescuing 13 people. But on his 14th attempt, exhaustion claimed him…making him the only casualty of that accident. This is the story of a husband, a father, and a national hero whose courage lives on through the foundation created in his name.
