Tragedy hits Bayelsa community as fisherman’s corpse floats in river
The deceased, who hails from Ogbokiri community, headquarters of Akassa development center, was said to have gone fishing at Twon Brass with his son.
He said, “It even affected our roofs and caused serious roughness in the sea. During this period of June/July, the sea is usually very rough and there’s no other option because fishing is the only source of our livelihood. “The last case we recorded was some years back when two of my friends who went fishing were missing and after some days they were found but we were able to revive them.
