Kula Boat Tragedy: Fubara Promises Thorough Probe

Rivers State Governor Siminalayi Fubara has promised a thorough investigation into the deaths of 10 people in a boat incident in Kula, Akuku-Toru Local Government Area. Kula residents marched peacefully to Government House in Port Harcourt to seek government intervention and accountability. Represented by Chief of Staff Sunny Ewule, Fubara offered condolences and said anyone found responsible would face the law. The tensions reportedly arose during the retrieval of an Anambra Basin vessel; Max Shipping Services says it had contracted Menal Technical Services to use the vessel and sought its return over alleged unpaid hire fees.
