Nigerian Navy says a total of 47 stowaways on boarding the Niger Delta, prepared to depart the shores of Nigeria have been detected and stopped by the eagle eyes of its personnel.
It also says efforts are being intensified to clamp down on illegal crude oil thieves, illegal refineries and other related crimes in the maritime areas.
To this end, it asked all captains of merchant vessels and all seafarers to be vigilant and report suspicious movement around their vessels in order to enhance the security of their vessels.
In a statement by its Director of Information, Rear Admiral Christian Ezekobe, the vigilance of the service personnel helped to avert the departure of the stowaways in the merchant vessels.
He also noted that the successful operations were conducted in conjunction with other security partners.
