What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Fishermen in Ghana's Western Region were rescued after their canoe drifted for almost two weeks following an engine failure. The canoe drifted eastward toward Togo and was eventually found in the waters of Benin. The incident triggered a coordinated search and rescue operation involving the Ghana Navy, Fisheries Commission, Ghana Maritime Authority, Marine Police, and Ghana Air Force.
