Akwa Ibom Police Rescue Ghanaian Fisherman from Pirates
The Akwa Ibom Police Command conducted a successful rescue operation on October 6, rescuing a Ghanaian fisherman and other victims who had been abducted by suspected sea pirates in the coastal waters of Ibeno Local Government Area. The operation was initiated following credible intelligence from local residents regarding the attack on a group of fishermen, including the Ghanaian national, who were targeted while traveling towards the Atlantic Ocean.
DSP Timfon John, the Spokesperson for the Police Command, reported that personnel from the Asawana Mobile Police Base were mobilized to locate the victims and apprehend the pirates. During the operation, the police encountered the suspected pirates near the ocean boundary between Akwa Ibom and Rivers States, leading to a gun battle.
The pirates, overwhelmed by the police response, abandoned their boat and escaped into a nearby creek, allowing the police to rescue the victims unharmed.
