Two Portuguese-speaking fishermen who went missing in the Atlantic Ocean have been rescued in Bayelsa State.
52-year-old Antonio Sabino, and 41-year-old Osorio Pires were rescued by the captain of a fishing trawler on Sunday, July 2, in the Brass Council Area of the state, 50 nautical miles from the Atlantic Ocean.

The Bayelsa State Police Command confirmed the rescue of two fishermen.

According to the Police, Sabino, and Peris from Sao Tome and Principe Neves had been missing for five days in the Atlantic Ocean.



Police spokesperson SP Asinim Bustwat confirmed that the two fishermen were put in the custody of police officers in Okpoama, Division in Brass Local Government Area.

Bustwat revealed that the police have contacted a Coast Guard officer from Saô Tom and Principe to ensure that fishermen reunite with their families.



Describing the incident, the Chairman of the Okpoama Kingdom Security Committee, Munalayefa William-Sinte, said they had not been able to verbally communicate with the fishermen due to the language barrier.

Williams-Sinte added that the pair were worried but were reassured by sign language before being handed over to police.

He further asserted that a fisherman from Ilaje, Ondo State, a resident of Okpoama, has been missing for over a week and his colleagues have been searching the sea for several days.

We have so much potential but lack leaders. Imagine if it was Arabs that lived in our part of Africa, by now it would be paradise.
