The
Commissioner of Police Mr. Richard Britten was interviewed by Nauru Media on NTV News regarding the incident that occurred on Friday 10, of May 2013, where
two local fishermen at the age of around 19 and 13 (boys) went missing in the
sea and were haven’t been found till today.
According
to Mr. Britten he said on Friday morning he had ordered all their three rescue
boats for the search whole day and there was no success. The Commissioner said
that he had spoken to the parents of the two boys that soon he will be calling
off the search operation since it has taken more than three days with no positive
sign on ground search.
Mr. Britten said he has contacted all Aviation controls from neighbouring
countries to keep an eye on these two boys in the sea, and if possible to call
for their rescue as soon as possible.
The
Commissioner said he is aware of the Fisheries Safety Regulations in place, but
really the responsibility is in the hands of every fisherman in Nauru to ensure
that they are able to have basic emergency equipment on-board such as life
jacket and radio before going out for fishing because of emergencies.
However,
besides the Commissioner’s message the parents, families and friends of the two
missing boys urged everyone for their assistance in allocating and rescuing these
two fishermen.
