Agency reporter


Unidentified attackers on Sunday hijacked a Nigerian boat carrying goods off the coast of Cameroun, Reuters reports.

The hijackers reportedly demanded $1.5m ransom for the release of its captain and one member of crew.

The attack on Sunday was the latest in the Bakassi Peninsula, coming two weeks after a previously unknown group calling itself the African Marine Commando hijacked a Chinese fishing vessel in the area with seven crew on board.

Local military and administrative officials said they believed the same group was responsible for the latest attack and a subsequent raid on a local gendarmerie early on Monday, in which they made off with firearms and ammunition.

The Chinese fishermen, a common sight in West African waters, were held for a few days and released unharmed after Chinese and Camerounian officials negotiated with their kidnappers.

Let them release that boat or. . . .

Cameroun has breachd d bakkassi peninsula agreement severally. Gondluck shud act on d cross river state report submittd 2 FG on d deliberate activities of cameroun n its citizens against nigerians,breachn d handover agreement

I think the NAVY should set up a task force headed by AROGUNDADE and his likes.

I second U.

The kidnappers at the moment have not been identified so we cannot conclude if they are Nigerians or Cameroonians but my concern is what are Chinese fishermen doing on our waters?

Too bad. Why did we even leave the island for the Cameroonians

The answer is as easy as ABC. you can be sure

The captain is a Ghanaian and he was taken with a Cameroonion crew member.
