The statement read, “The brave efforts and timely intervention of the patrol team prevented the individuals from being exposed to life-threatening situation in such a confined compartment for the long voyage as well as other security threats associated with unauthorized access to such facilities.”

The statement, however, stated that the Navy handed over the suspected stowaways to the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS).

“In a seamless transition, the stowaways were handed over to the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) in accordance with the established protocols for further necessary action.
