Summary

On October 20, 2026, a boat carrying more than ten people was destroyed in the Kula Kingdom after it capsized during a protest involving the ANAMBRA BASIN vessel. The incident occurred amid a dispute between local residents and security forces regarding oil activities and an oil spill. While reports indicate that 10 people were killed, the event has not been confirmed by Lt. Col. Umar. Accounts differ regarding the circumstances of the capsizing, with some reports alleging a collision with a military gunboat, while others describe a struggle between youths and soldiers. Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has promised an inquiry into the tragedy, and police are currently investigating the details of the occurrence.
