They added that hundreds of Tarkwa Bay residents were evicted forcefully and rendered homeless.
Tarkwa Bay, home to at least 4,500 people and a popular location for fun-seekers, is among dozens of communities demolished by the Nigerian navy.
Recall that earlier on Tuesday, Rear Admiral Oladele Daji, the Commander of Operation Awatse, in a Television interview said Tarkwa-bay is a hideout for sea robbers and officially it is a non-residential area.
He explained that the ‘clearance operation’ was needed because Tarkwa-Bay has turned to a hideout for sea robbers and pirates who freely operate due to lack of security presence in the area.
