A team of police officers from Labasa, Saqani and Tukavesi with the help of some villagers are still searching for the 26 year old man who went missing while fishing on Friday.

Divisional Police Commander Northern SP Emosi Nakete said that they have extended their search as far as Udu Point and Saqani.

Petero Tevesi was with three other men in a fibre glass fishing boat when their boat capsized in the open sea.

The other three men managed to swim ashore and alerted police and villages.
