you couldn't have said it better. truth!

this guys were 6, 1 was shot. imagine what they did. attacked a tanker heading into ph through the bonny channel. Tanker captain sent a pirate attack distress message, Nimasa anti piracy control received message and acted swiftly. (well don Nimasa), contacted the nearest Navy patrol in that location at sea. by the time navy arrived (very swiftly i must say), this guys were taking four crew members (all Russians) already into their speed boats (they came with two big speed boats) and they started opening fire on the navy on sighting the navy. so the navy had no choice than to engage them. killed one pirate in the engage, then the pirates threw all Russians they took into the sea, threw the tv's they took and other heavy items stolen to lighten their boat and try to escape. part of the navy team then rescued the crew from the sea. but the navy gave the pirates a run for their money. chased them and destroyed the outboard engines of the pirates boats with heavy Gun fire, so no way to run again. the pirates jumped into the water (forgetting the navy is trained for water and they are not police). navy also jumped in and got them all rounded and arrested.

tanker had all Russian crew. all of them very well beaten, tortured and injured by this pirates. they had to be taken to clinins in port harcourt. pirates stole everything that they could carry, also took about $5000 cash, then still wanted to kidnap 4 expats. but all ended up in the sea when their boats overturned after heavy gunfire.

Well Done Nigerian Navy, Well Done Nimassa.

(meanwhile don't ask how i know, its verified fact above. my office got the full report the next morning)


Thanks for the detailed information but where are they from? are they still alive or dead? and what are your sources?? Am actually interested in this because of the manner they terrorize us in Bayelsa river.
