Confirmed facts
Each fact is a sentence from a source that at least two independent outlets report.
The seven men, all from Sekondi, embarked on a fishing expedition to Axim in the Western Region on October 9, 2026, aboard a canoe named Second Chance.
The men later arrived safely at the Fishing Harbour in Tema following a joint search-and-rescue operation.
Kwamena Nkum said the fishermen’s provisions ran out five days after the engine failure, forcing them to depend on fish they caught and eventually burn parts of their canoe to prepare meals.
He said the fishermen resorted to drinking seawater after their supplies were exhausted, boiling it in an attempt to reduce its salt concentration.
Mr Nkum said they contacted their fishing leaders and attempted to establish their location.
