At least, one passenger was killed by pirates during last Thursday’s attack on a 10-passenger boat enroute Bonny Island from Port Harcourt, The Tide can authoritatively report. The attack which occurred along Opada Creek left the boat driver and many passengers seriously injured.
The sea robbers also made away with many valuables belonging to passengers. The Tide learnt that one of the pirates was nabbed by the Opada Creek community and has been handed over to the Rivers State Police Command.
