The Commander, Commodore Bashir Mohammed, in a press statement on Tuesday, said that the crew members were rescued on Thursday while the sailor was still missing.“In response to the distress call, the patrol team of the Base, in collaboration with some personnel of the Nigerian Customs, swung into action.

“This led to the rescue of 12 out of the 13 crew onboard the vessel at the entrance to the Lagos Harbour and a search for the missing sailor is still ongoing,” he said. Mohammed attributed main engine failure of the fishing vessel and heavy waves, as responsible for the mishap.
