A 40- year - old fisherman, Seth Akpot , has been arrested in the Badagry area of Lagos for allegedly belonging to a gang of sea pirates .
It was learnt that three AK- 47 rifles with ammunition reportedly used by the gang were recovered from Akpot ’s uncle , Mustapha Sumaila , an herbalist.
They were arrested by men of the Inspector - General of Police Intelligence Response Team in Lagos after a tip - off .
The police said the suspects specialised in hijacking oil vessels on the seas , and also attacked boat passengers and dispossessed them of their valuables .
A source told our correspondent that the gang was sponsored by a rich man based in Cotonou, Benin Republic, adding that the police had intensified efforts to arrest him and other gang members .
“ The gang members used the guns to hijack oil vessels from Canada and other countries. They got the guns from a sponsor. The police received intelligence report on their activities on waterways and swung into action .
“ Akpot was arrested on July 20 at Ajido town , Badagry . He led detectives to arrest the uncle , who kept the guns for them ,” the source said .
Akpot , however , denied the robbery allegation , saying that one Alphanus in Cotonou gave the guns to him for safekeeping.
The father of four children said , “ I am a fisherman. I knew Alpahnus last year through a customer called Baba Ibeji . He usually sends his boys from Cotonou to collect fish for him and he would pay me later .
“ Sometime in June this year , he called me on the telephone that he had a deal that would earn me big money . We met at the border and he gave me the guns in a sack for safekeeping.
“ He told me he was into illegal oil bunkering and promised to give me money . He was not specific about the amount . I took the guns to my uncle and asked him to help me keep them . It was about three weeks later that the police arrested me.”
The accomplice , Sumaila , 58, said he did not know the sack contained guns until he was apprehended – a claim Akpot refuted .
“ I am an herbalist. I attend to pregnant women and treat sick people . This was the first time I would keep guns for him . I didn ’t know initially that the sack contained guns ,” he said .
The Force Public Relations Officer , CSP Jimoh Moshood , had yet to reply to a text message sent to him on the arrest.
