The Bayelsa State Police Command said on Sunday that it had recovered the corpses of four officers who were missing after a surveillance boat conveying them was crushed by a gunboat in the state’s waterways on July 25.
The four bodies of the slain policemen had been deposited at the mortuary of the Federal Medical Centre, Yenagoa.
The operations manager of Darlon Oil and Gas Limited, an oil surveillance firm, identified as Odi Lyon, who was the younger brother of a former All Progressives Congress governorship candidate in Bayelsa, David Lyon, also died in the incident.
The command had earlier explained through a statement by its spokesman, Asinim Butswat, that the surveillance boat conveying the deceased officers capsized at Korokorosei in the Southern Ijaw Local Government Area of the state on the fateful day.
