The raid was carried out on Friday last week at 2am.

The Nigerian Navy hierarchy commended the efforts of NNS SOROH, their resilience and dedication to duty which led to the success of the raid operation.

He restated that the Nigerian Navy under the able leadership of the Chief of the Naval Staff,  Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla  will continue to conduct such sting operations to resist and arrest criminals desperate to undermine the democratic process, disrupt public peace or breach the hard earned Maritime Security during and after the off cycle election period.

“The Service will continue to cooperate with stakeholders to achieve a peaceful Maritime environment critical for legitimate business by law abiding citizens towards the national economic development and prosperity,” he said.
