It has been reported that suspected sea pirates have murdered Hope Georgewill, a celebrated fashion designer, in Rivers State. The incident occurred when pirates attacked a speedboat, kidnapping its operator, Lucky Isokariari, and two others, including Georgewill, along the New Calabar River in Degema Local Government Area.
Sources revealed to security analyst Zagazola Makama that the attack happened on March 26, 2025, when the “H.J. Miracle” speedboat, traveling from Elem-Kalabari to Port Harcourt, was ambushed by the pirates. The attackers fled with the boat and the victims to an unknown location.
The kidnappers contacted the boat owner through the operator’s phone, demanding a ransom of N10 million for the release of the victims. Despite efforts to secure their release, Georgewill was tragically murdered by the pirates on Friday afternoon.
