Police confirms losing 12 personnel in Bayelsa boat attack





Kiyo: The police has confirmed the death of 12 of its personnel in a boat attack in Bayelsa state on Friday. The security officers were on escort duties in the coastal state when they were ambushed, police said on Sunday at a news conference.
The ill-fated boat was heading to Azuzuama, Southern Ijaw Local Government Area for the burial of the mother of Kile Torughedi, a Special Assistant to Bayelsa Governor on Maritime Security.
Police spokesperson, Kingsley Omire, said that a search party had been drafted to the site and gave assurance that efforts were being made by divers to recover the bodies of the policemen.
