A local fishing crew, numbering about eight, is reportedly missing on the high seas.
The fishermen set off from Azizanya, a suburb of Ada in the Greater Accra region, and they have lost their direction on the sea.
The crew for the fishing expedition left their normal territories along the Ada coast but have not returned to the landing beach as usual.
On Saturday, they made last phone call to the Azizanya community to inform them that they had missed their turn and would not be able to make it back.
The chief fisherman, Nene Otibo, speaking on Radio Ada, a community media outlet, is pleading for public surveillance.
“The crew phoned to announce that they are missing on the sea and cannot locate the exact place they find themselves at the time of placing the call,” the chief fisherman tells Radio Ada.
Per report, failure of their outboard motor was announced as the cause of their missing direction to return to their Azizanya destination.
According to the chief fisherman of Azizanya, the crew had left with a boat with registration number 6, popularly known as "Olonka."
A plea for fishermen between Keta and Tema is registered for surveillance and subsequent alertness.
