Six yet-to-be-identified persons have died in an accident in a vessel around Atlas Cove, Lagos.

Okay.ng gathered that the deceased persons were working on the tanker of the vessel identified as MT Halima when the accident occurred.

A statement from the Nigerian Navy Ship BEECROFT said a distress call was received from the ship through the Western Region Control Centre of the Falcon Eye, a Navy’s Maritime Domain Awareness facility.

A rescue party was dispatched from the NNS BEECROFT’s taskforce at Atlas Cove which took off from Takwa jetty.
