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.

“Pertinently, the remarkable arrest and handover of the individuals is a testament to the Nigerian Navy’s unwavering commitment in conducting its constitutional role and it also underscores the dedication of the Nigerian Navy under the esteemed leadership of the chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral EmmanueI Ogalla, towards ensuring the nation’s maritime environment is conducive for legitimate business to thrive for the economic prosperity of our nation.”
