The hope of nine Nigerian youths and a national of Niger Republic for greener pastures in Europe through vessels was dashed after they were arrested by the Nigeria Immigration Service.

The suspects were said to have been assisted into the vessels by some fishermen who paddled them on local boats before getting them aboard the ships.

The Comptroller, Nigeria Immigration Service, Lagos Seaports and Marine Command, Modupe Anyalechi, said five of the suspects were discovered inside the rudder truck of MV MSC PAOLA by some immigration officers who rummaged the vessel at fairway buoy, around six nautical miles to finger jetty, Apapa Port.

The other five, according to her, were caught on board of MV MAERSK CHANNIA by some naval officers, who handed them over to the NIS.

She said the suspects were, however, unaware that most of the vessels only plied waterways of West African countries and the Gulf of Guinea.
