Nigerian Navy Rescues Two Teenagers After Boat Capsizes in Bayelsa

The Nigerian Navy rescued two 16-year-old boys after their wooden boat capsized in Egweama Community, Brass Local Government Area of Bayelsa State. Naval personnel from Forward Operating Base FORMOSO responded after spotting the teenagers in distress on Tuesday. The boys had encountered adverse water conditions while returning from a routine trip through the community’s waterways. They were evacuated to safety and given medical attention. The Navy said the rescue reflects its ongoing commitment to protecting lives and supporting maritime safety in coastal and riverine communities.
