A yet-to-be identified helicopter has reportedly shot at a local passenger boat travelling from Port Harcourt to Bonny in Rivers State.
An eyewitness at the Bonny-Nembe Waterside told our correspondent that the boat was conveying passengers and foodstuff and the number of casualties is unclear.
There are fears of casualties, with some occupants severely injured and rushed to the hospital.
When contacted, a spokesman of the state Police Command, Nnamdi Omoni, said that he had yet to get the report and asked our correspondent to call back later.
