He said goods worth millions of naira were lost, but some were salvaged.

“So far, we have not recorded any casualty, but we have salvaged a lot of items using speed boats, barges and open boats,’’ Mr Dikuma said.

The Police spokesman in Bayelsa, SP Asinim Butswat, said the accident had not been reported to the police and could not provide further details.
