Ghana Navy Arrest 8 Nigerian Pirates, Frees Seized Ship by TheGeneral1(op): 7:27pm On Jan 18, 2015
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 theGhana 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.

Ghana on the high seas
Cameroon in the desert.
With a president as useless as this, who needs a government.
