Face saving after failing.

Do these NN PR think Nigerians are dumb like they are?

You couldn’t arrest a super tanker that takes about 3 months to load on your territory and you are now using media PR to redeem your battered image.

This is the height of shamelessness

Crowd throw stones at APC officials in jos

Following.

This stealing, infiltration of our waters has been going on for ages supported and powered by the forces that matter.
I wonder if it's time to stop this or just a score of cheap political goals by the ruling party at this time of election.
Selfishness of a few and corruption has killed Nigeria. There is no other way to stop this than ensuring a stiff and thorough investigation and firm prosection of individuals involved in this sad acts of economic sabotage that has deprived majority of Nigerians the means to a good life and progressive future.
But in Nigeria investigations are also corrupt and you wonder who will bell the cat.

Racoon:
Just imagine this embarrassment.A vessel came to Nigerian territorial waters, loaded our crude oil and departed without scrutiny till on foreign waters before alarm was raised.

Imagine this vessel were an enemy frigate ship that came to do damage. Our security agencies have to be more proactive. These kinds of lapses should never happen

My brother, the attack would have been devastating.

Nice one from the Nigerian Navy, and our Equitorial Guinean counterparts.
The case was handled professionally.

Giant stride in the right direction. Kudos to the professnalism of the Nigeria Navy.

Hopefully, foreign powers and undue influence from those involved in the local political front don't jeopardise the process of justice.

TEXT OF PRESS BRIEFING ON THE TRANSFER OF MT HEROIC IDUN FROM EQUATORIAL GUINEA TO NIGERIA – November 15, 2022

1. You may recall that on Friday 19 August 2022 the Naval Headquarters briefed the Press on the arrest of Motor Tanker HEROIC IDUN by the Equatorial Guinean Navy. It was mentioned that the Very Large Crude oil Carrier (VLCC) had entered the Nigerian Maritime Environment (NME) on 7 August 2022 and headed for Akpo Field without any form of authorisation or clearance. For the avoidance of doubt, MT HEROIC IDUN (IMO: 9858058) is registered in Marshall Island with an overall length of 336-metres, 60 metres breadth and capacity of 3 million barrels. The vessel was spotted by the Nigerian Navy Maritime Domain Awareness facility and a Nigerian Navy (NN) Inshore Patrol Craft, Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) GONGOLA probed the legitimacy of her presence in the Total Safe Anchorage operated Akpo Field. Following the interrogation, the Captain of MT HEROIC IDUN duly responded to NNS GONGOLA and further stated that his vessel was without relevant clearance to operate in the Field.

2. The vessel was therefore ordered to turn around and follow NNS GONGOLA to Bonny anchorage pending when she will be cleared for loading by NNPC Ltd. However, she bluntly declined on the claims that she had been told by her agent not to take directives from the Nigerian Navy Ship. Thereafter, she engaged full speed southwards towards the Sao Tome and Principe maritime area in a bid to evade arrest. Apart from refusing lawful arrest, the Captain of the vessel made a broadcast of false piracy attack call to International Maritime Bureau (IMB) Piracy Reporting Centre to mislead mariners that NNS GONGOLA was a pirate vessel and possibly concoct an alibi for her desperate action. On the piracy alert, the Nigerian Navy also through international collaboration alerted relevant piracy reporting centres through CRESMAO and ECOWAS ZONE F Cotonou headed by Nigerian Navy officers for the alert to be cancelled immediately which was done by IMB. Suffice to state that Nigeria has not recorded any piracy attack in its waters in over one year. Hence, this mischievous act by MT HEROIC IDUN was clearly aimed at tarnishing the good image of the maritime domain of Nigeria, which we have worked very hard to achieve and sustain.

3. The Nigerian Navy therefore invoked the collaboration of neighbouring Equatorial Guinea through the Yaoundé Architecture to arrest the vessel. With the aid of the Nigerian Navy surveillance facility, MT HEROIC IDUN was tracked and the Equatorial Guinea Amphibious Ship, CAPTAIN DAVID was therefore vectored to intercept and arrest the fleeing ship on 12 Aug 22. Pertinently, MT HEROIC IDUN was held at the Luba Anchorage in Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea while the country conducted her own investigations owing to some infractions the vessel had also committed in the country’s waters. Whilst these were ongoing, a formal request was made to transfer the vessel to Nigeria as mentioned during the Press Briefing on 19 August 2022. This was followed by diplomatic overtures and negotiations towards achieving the transfer of HEROIC IDUN to Nigeria. Suffice to add that both Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea are signatories to the Code of Conduct concerning the Repression of Piracy, Armed Robbery against Ships and Illicit Maritime Activity in West and Central Africa of 2013 commonly referred to as the ‘Yaounde Code of Conduct’. The Code is backed by appropriate UN Security Council Resolutions and provides the platform for information sharing as well as coordination amongst signatories. This includes handover of vessels or persons suspected to have committed offences in each other’s States. It was based on this therefore that MT HEROIC IDUN was brought back to Nigeria from Equatorial Guinea on 12 November 2022.

4. The smear campaign put up by the ship in the Media space in a fierce attempt to rubbish the transfer process by falsely gaining international support/sympathy was thus bound to fail and perhaps an indication that the vessel has a case to answer. Accordingly, on 6 November 2022, the vessel was handed over to Nigeria by Equatorial Guinea. Subsequently, she cast off Equatorial Guinea waters under Nigerian Navy escort on 11 November and arrived off Bonny Offshore Terminal II on 12 November 2022. MT HEROIC IDUN is presently in the custody of the Nigerian Navy and based on legal opinion and analysis, the super-tanker could be said to have committed the following offences against the Nigerian State:

a. Attempt to deal in export crude oil without license or authorization.

b. Entering the Restricted Zone around an Oilfield without authorization and thus violating Nigeria’s Exclusive Economic Zone regulations.

c. Falsely accusing a Nigerian Navy Ship of piracy on International Maritime Reporting Platforms after having communicated with the Nigerian Navy Ship without ambiguity about her identity therefore violating sections of the Suppression of Piracy and Other Maritime Offences (SPOMO)Act 2019.

d. Violation of all lawful instructions at sea from Maritime Law Authorities as well as Nigeria’s Miscellaneous Act and other associated national and international laws ascribed to by Nigeria.

e. Violation of Custom and Immigration Laws as acceded by Nigeria regarding the operations of Akpo Oil Terminal being an Oil installation in the Nigerian Exclusive Economic Zone.

5. At this juncture, the NN wishes to enjoin the media, wellmeaning Nigerians and well-wishers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, to note the actual occurrence regarding MT HEROIC IDUN for which she is now under the custody of the Navy for prosecution. Please disregard rumours, mischievous and fictitious articles being circulated by enemies of the State, in a bid to cause chaos and discredit efforts of the Nigerian Navy and indeed Nigeria. The Navy also acknowledges with immense gratitude the role played by the Government of Equatorial Guinea in the arrest and transfer of MV HEROIC IDUN to Nigeria. Equally, the NN acknowledges the untiring efforts of the Federal ministries of Defence, Foreign Affairs and Justice in the actualization of the transfer of this Vessel of Interest.

6. The Navy assures Nigerians that in accordance with its statutory responsibilities and drawing strength from the strategic directives of the CNS, Vice Admiral Auwal Zubairu Gambo CFR, the Service will maintain a posture of zero tolerance to crude oil theft and other criminal activities in our maritime domain. The Navy shall continue to work in synergy with other maritime stakeholders, Gulf of Guinea states’ navies and strategic partners to ensure that Nigeria derives maximum benefit from its natural maritime endowments.

7. Thank you for your attention.

This is very professional and patriotic.
Well done Nigerian Navy. I think the public needs the manifest and owner details as well in the spirit of transparency.
Great job!

Racoon:
Just imagine this embarrassment.A vessel came to Nigerian territorial waters, loaded our crude oil and departed without scrutiny till on foreign waters before alarm was raised.

Imagine this vessel were an enemy frigate ship that came to do damage. Our security agencies have to be more proactive. These kinds of lapses should never happen

Security forces? So you think a vessel of this size can come into our waters without the security agencies knowledge? A vessel that can carry 3m barrels of oil. That to stop takes about 15km, a turning radius of 3.5 kilometers. Ship over 300m long.
That vessel will just drive into Nigeria and take oil. Who is whining who? You and I cannot row a canoe into Nigerian waters much more a tanker. Truth of the matter is that it is government officials at the highest level taking the oil with active participation of the security forces. People are sharing millions and millions of dollars. Cash money. Someone said our oil production is more like 3m barrels per day. Why? Information from some of the descharge ports in the US, Europe and Asia cummulated shows over 3m exports. Meanwhile Nnpc says we are exporting 1m.

All I can say is, e choke

stano2:
No respect for Nigerian Navy again. Excess casting

Can you explain?

Praxis758:

This is the height of shamelessness

The tanker was supposed to load after clearance so at the time of arrest, she wasn't loaded.

The heroic return is not complete until it makes the prices of rice, garri and dollars to drop or else we nor wan hear pim again

Nyanabo:
Nice one from the Nigerian Navy, and our Equitorial Guinean counterparts.
The case was handled professionally.

Nice one from the Nigerian Navy you say?
This is shamelessness raised to power 100.
If Nigeria was a working state, heads should be rolling in the Nigerian Customs service and Navy by now. A foreign vessel entered your territorial waters and successfully stole hundreds if not thousands of barrels of oil and it took the efforts of another sovereign nation’s naval force to get them arrested and you’re here saying nice one from the Nigerian navy. People who deserve to be stoned to death. We want names, Nigeria is a lawless state.

The NN displayed a high degree of unprofessionalism in her conduct. I would suggest ethical trainings for the tactical and command teams.

We hope for a better Nigeria where we will all be treated with respect.

bestman09:

Illegal deal gone wrong.
The ship wouldn't have been there in the first place without prior arrangements, just that the captain panicked because he didn't know how far.

Anyway, this is Nigeria, they will settle las las without us knowing the terms of settlement

This is not encouraging comments. Commend the authorities for the good job instead of negative narratives and assumptions.

Kudos, Nigerian Navy for the good job!

Good job,Nigerian Navy, for the efforts.

Keep it up!

So who owns the vessel?

Has it been here before? If no, then who invited it.

These guys just wanna play on their intelligence not we.

I like this report. The person that wrote it thought deeply about the audience. They were able to carry non experts along without necessarily making it too basic for the experts. However, I hope when the investigations are over, they'd also tell us the origin of the vessel. Is it owned by some independent oil thief or is it a part of an organized syndicate/mafia?

The questions should be how did such very large vessel pass through d screen of the economic exclusion zone without been sighted.
How can a VLCC outran a frigate?if that frigate is not having serious mechanical problems.
Why can't d rogue vessel be intercepted & stopped in Nigeria water,are there not other naval vessels patrolling Nigerian territorial waters?

Nyanabo:
Nice one from the Nigerian Navy, and our Equitorial Guinean counterparts.

You've spoken very well and reasonably too!
