The rescue operation commenced at about 1 p.m. hours when the Nigerian Navy Ship 'Ose', while on routine sea patrol received a distress call from the vessel. On arrival at the scene, it was observed that some crew members had jumped overboard while others were stranded on the exposed deck. Through a coordinated effort of thr personnel from NNS 'OSe', the Naval Security Station 030 and Forward Operating Base IBAKA, 20 crew members were rescued while a search operation was initiated for the missing Chief Engineer. Efforts are ongoing to locate the missing man, who had jumped over board and disappeared.
