Ghana Navy arrest 8 Nigerian pirates, frees
seized ship
The Ghana Navy on Saturday foiled a pirate
attack on a Nigerian cargo vessel, MT Mariam
and captured all eight bandits.
The pirates were armed, but no one, including
a nine-member crew aboard MT Mariam, was
injured when the Ghana Navy crew aboard GNS
BLIKA effected the arrest.
According to the Public Relations Officer of the
1 Garrison of the Ghana Armed Forces, Lt
Maxwell Asola, all eight pirates are Nigerians.
Owners of the hijacked ship alerted the Ghana
Navy about the incident and requested for
assistance.
MV Mariam is scheduled to dock at the port
on Sunday.
Lt. Maxwell Asola told the Daily Graphic that
the arrest took place at about 10:30am and
that the owner of the vessel in lodging the
complaint, said the pirates told him via
telephone that they wanted to use the vessel to
carry out an attack and banged the phone.
This prompted the owner of MV Mariam to
approach the Ghana Navy for assistance
