Disturbingly, two of the individuals, Osas Nusakare and Okechi Chika, were arrested for a similar offense just a month ago.

According to a press release by Sub Lieutenant Hapinness Collins, the Base Information Officer, the interception was part of the Nigerian Navy’s ongoing efforts to ensure the security of the country’s maritime domain.

Commander NNS Beecroft and Maritime Component Commander of Operation AWATSE, Commodore Kolawole Oguntuga, revealed that the timely action was initiated based on intelligence received from the Maritime Domain Awareness Facility, the Falcon Eye Alignment.

The navy’s tactical teams, deployed by the NNS Beecroft commander, swiftly boarded the vessel and discovered movements within the rudder compartment, leading to the apprehension of the stowaways.
