Crime / In Nigeria: Pirates Abduct Six Turkish Crew by flashygists(f): 5:02pm On Apr 11, 2016
In Nigeria, Pirates off the coast have attacked a Turkish cargo ship, kidnapping six crew members in a region which has seen increasing piracy in recent years, a Turkish maritime news agency reported Monday.


The Deniz News Agency said pirates abducted the ship’s mechanical engineer, electrician, navigator and three captains.

The ship is owned by Kaptanogul Shipping, which told the news agency that both the kidnapped crew, and those who remained on the ship were “in good health”.

However, it was unclear how many crew members were aboard the M/T Puli, which was carrying chemicals, when it was attacked. Company officials said the pirates have not contacted them.

At the end of 2015 pirates kidnapped crew members from Lithuania, Ukraine and Poland in the area which is increasingly a piracy hotspot.

Meanwhile incidents of piracy off the coast of Somalia in eastern Africa which was once a global hub for pirates have significantly fallen in the past three years due in large part to patrols by international warships and armed guards aboard commercial vessels.

Crime / Pirates abduct six Turkish crew off Nigeria coast – Navy by flashygists(f): 4:31pm On Apr 11, 2016
Pirates have attacked a Turkish cargo ship off the coast of Nigeria, kidnapping six crew members in a region increasingly hit by piracy in recent years, the Nigerian navy said on Monday.

“All the six Turkish crew members, including the captain of the vessel, the chief officer and the chief engineer, were abducted by the attackers,” Nigerian Navy spokesman, Chris Ezekobe told AFP.

The pirates attacked the vessel in the dead of night while it was steaming through the oil-rich Niger Delta, added the spokesman.

Ezekobe said the ship, a merchant tanker, was used for crude oil operations and the navy was working with Interpol and Nigeria’s secret police to secure the crew’s release.

Turkey’s Deniz News Agency said the ship, the M/T Puli, was owned by Kaptanoglu Shipping.

Both the kidnapped crew and those who remained on the ship, were “in good health”, the company was reported as saying.

It was unclear how many crew members were aboard, which was carrying chemicals, when it was attacked. Company officials said they have had no contact with the pirates.

Dirk Steffen, director of maritime security at the Denmark-based Risk Intelligence firm, said the vessel was en route from Port Gentil in Gabon to the Ivory Coast capital, Abidjan, at the time of the attack.

“The attackers had possibly already attempted to board another ship in the vicinity the previous day,”

“It is extremely busy outside the Niger Delta at the moment and we had three attacks against tankers before this one between April 7 and 10,” he said in an email.

Politics / In Benue: APC Youth Leader And 3 Others Killed In Fresh Fulani Herdsmen, Farmers by flashygists(f): 4:27pm On Apr 05, 2016
Four persons including the All Progressives Congress, APC, youth leader, were feared killed in another bloody clash between Fulani herdsmen and farmers at Tse Tia, in Tarka Local Government area of Benue State.


A source disclosed that the latest killing erupted when some unidentified youths in the village allegedly killed two herdsmen and five cattle that were grazing the said village.

According to the source, when the story of the murder got to the herdsmen, they stormed the village later in the day to retrieve the remains of their kinsmen.

The source further said: “Their presence in the village enraged the locals and a bloody fight ensued leading to the abduction and murder of two persons from the village, including the APC youth leader in Tarka local government area, Mr. Aondohemba Kasa”.

The reprisal attack was what forced the youths of the community to take over the busy Makurdi-Gboko road for several hours yesterday thereby disrupting the free flow of traffic on the highway.

“They made bonfire on the highway and rebuffed appeals by the Secretary to the State Government, SSG, Mr. Takema Targema who visited the scene to plead with them to open up the highway, insisting that the herdsmen be compelled to release corpses of those they had earlier abducted and killed.”

It was further gathered that after much persuasion, the youths reopened the highway, after the corpse of the youth leader was recovered later in the afternoon by the Police.

Confirming the incident, the Benue State Police Public Relations Officer, PPRO, Assistant Superintendent, ASP, Moses Yamu said the remains of the APC youth leader had been recovered by the Police.


“Normalcy has returned to the area and the road has also been reopened for use by motorists,” he said.
