Aneke, therefore, warned individuals or groups interested in smuggling illegal consignments into or out of Nigeria, or planning to carry out any form of criminality in Nigeria’s waters to desist  forthwith, or be ready to face the full weight of the law, when apprehended.

He stressed that criminal elements in FOB Ibaka area of operations under the Eastern Naval Command area of responsibility, would continue to be detected using advanced surveillance equipment and intelligence, adding that Nigeria’s waters and the coastal areas are not for illegal activities.

Receiving the suspect and the exhibits, Head of Anti Vandal Unit (AVU) of the NSCDC Superintendent of Corps, Etefia Koko-Ette, assured that “the suspect would undergo further interrogation and investigations before facing justice and subsequent punishment to serve as a deterrent to others.
