In a daring rescue operation, operatives from the Forward Operations Base (FOB) Bonny in Rivers State have successfully saved 59 individuals stranded on a dredging vessel at the mouth of the Opobo River.

The Nigerian Navy’s spokesman, Aiwuyor Aliu-Adams, revealed that the base received a distress call about the vessel, MV AMBIKA 4, which was in danger of sinking due to turbulent waters.

Led by Lieutenant Commander Gideon Gwaza, a 10-man armed team was dispatched in two interceptor boats to rescue the stranded workers.

However, the challenging waters required additional support, and another squadron of three boats was sent to reinforce the rescue team.

The Nigerian Navy also deployed a vessel, Nigerian Navy Ship GONGOLA, drones, helicopters, and a Nigerian Airforce helicopter for the Search and Rescue mission.

Tragically, the Base Operations Officer, Lieutenant Commander Gwaza, lost his life during the rescue operation.

The Nigerian Navy, while mourning Gwaza’s death, acknowledged his bravery and sacrifice, adding that he was a well-trained combat diver who risked his life to save others.
