It was indeed a narrow escape for the Commander of the Joint Task Force, Operation Delta Safe (ODS), Rear Admiral Apochi Suleiman and other top military officers escaped death on Tuesday when the Ikang Jetty in Akpabuyo Local Government Area of Cross Rivers State collapsed.
Investigations reveals that Suleiman led other officers including component commanders of ODS,
officers of Nigerian Navy Ship, NNS Victory and officers from Sector Four were at the Ikang Jetty as part of Operation Safety Check designed to check troops deployment when the Ikang Jetty gave way and all the officers fell into the River.
A statement from the coordinator of the Joint Media Campaign Centre of the ODS, Major Ibrahim Abdullahi which confirmed what would have been a major maritime mishap said the survival capability of all the officers and men helped in saving their lives.
Abdullahi who said all personnel weapons and other equipment were recovered however said some personnel had slight injuries which have been treated.
He said the Commander and the top military officers have returned to Calabar “to re-strategise and go ahead with the planned patrol and inspection”
