“The police are on top of the game in order to rescue the victims. I am assuring the public and the relatives that no stone will be left unturned to ensure thier rescue.

“We have deployed the marine component to the waterways in the area,” he stated.

Anozia also said that the command would continue to work hard to take control of the marine landscape in the state.

You know Bayelsa is 80 per cent water and that means that our operations are mainly focusing on waterways,” Anozie said.
