Akwa Ibom Marine Police Foil Sea Pirate Attack, Recover Boat and Stolen Items

Operatives of the Akwa Ibom State Marine Police successfully repelled a sea pirate attack along the Oron-Calabar waterways on Saturday, May 10, 2025, recovering a speedboat and various stolen items from the assailants.

The incident occurred around 12:06 p.m. while the Marine Police were conducting search and rescue operations in the area. Acting on a distress call about an ongoing attack by approximately seven pirates in a speedboat, the Officer-in-Charge swiftly mobilized his team to respond.

According to a statement by the State Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Timfon John, the pirates, on sighting the approaching police patrol boats, opened fire sporadically. The Marine Police operatives returned fire, forcing the attackers to flee into a shallow creek inaccessible to police boats.
