Nine suspected pirates comprising three Greece citizens, an American and five blacks have been arrested during a joint operation by the Nigerian Navy and United States Coast Guard.The suspects were nabbed when their vessel was stopped within the Nigerian waters while the navy combed the Western Naval Command area of the Gulf of Guinea, under ‘Operation Junction Rain’.

Upon a search of the vessel, the naval operatives recovered four military assault rifles (Bernelli MR-1) loaded with magazines, about 1,000 live ammunition in a box and other hidden exhibits including various communication gadgets, which they earlier denied they had while being interrogated.

The Officer in tactical command of the operation, Commodore Dickson Olisemenogor, said further investigation to unravel others behind the illegal operations of the vessel on the Nigerian waters would continue and those found culpable would be handed over to the concerned agencies for prosecution.

He added that another barge with 10 crew members suspected to be oil thieves was stopped and the crew members were arrested during the operation.

their heads should be cut off

their countries will soon demand for them without any harm on their citizens.

It's not something that started today, the government will treat them with more respect. You will never hear this news again.

Kill them all. In Nigeria, being a pirate is a treasonable offence and the only justice is death by a cutlass. Since our citizens(bad ones o) that go to their own countries are treated such, i think it is time to shake hands with them by serving them what we were served.

Find one dungeon to put them

Five blacks? So the blacks don't have identities?

Anti-piracy private contractors....them no go listen say Nigeria nah racket.

It is illegal to possess weapons for any reason even if it is to protect yourself on Nigerian waters.

Just found out the Bernelli MR-1 is not even a military grade weapon...damn thing is for civilian use.

so all these Greece guy's dey come hustle for this side

Us coast guard on nigerian waters. it is well i can swear that not even a fishing boat can stray and enter american territory

them no settle

From the arrangements I see on the foscle deck that is the life rafts on port and star board side, F.W tanks, and M.O.B rings, that vessel is a tiny 120 GRT or less than that.

I wonder what four expart works are doing there

Some and officers and politicians go dey their back...

Body bag will be their flight back to their Countries if justice has to be put in place.

We need to show Trump what his people are doing too. No be only im sabi accuse other countries.

off to kuje prison they go!! saboteurs

This is where we need lia muhammed and CNN coverage

What is meaning of ''five blacks''?. Don't they have nationalities? Is that not racist? We call it racist when foreign media address us like that but we accept it as normal when we do the same thing.

Hmmmmmmm
Watch how this issue will fizzle out in no time

This brings back memories of being a Commodore in the elite corps of the Nigerian Navy Special Boat Service.

We were on NNS Ajuwaya off the coast of Zanzibar when we got a distress signal..

.. from a Nambian merchant ship being attacked by Somali Pirates

It was in a middle of storm so visibility was poor as we climbed on board


We heardd the crash of rapid gun-fire and we knew the Pirates had run out of patience

I quickly emptied most of the magazine of my Heckler Koch into the skinny bodies of 3 of the bad guys

That was when i saw a face we had seen in many secret dossiers, Sarah Aideed Bin Sulimani a.k.a Captain Jaki Siparo,

the most notorious buccaneer cum smuggler. She was a most beautiful amazon but with a black heart.

Shee was coming from below deck with a shiny machete, wiping the blood off it with her sleeves


"Who brings a knife to a gunfight', i asked myself as i aimed at her

I pressed the trigger, once, twice and all i heard was a feeble "PHUUT", "PHUUT".

The smile on my face disappeared pronto! The gun had JAMMED!

Our eyes met and her facial expression could be best described thus : "You are my dinner, tonight"

She started runnning towards me...or trying to because the deck was slippery... there were just 10 steps to cover

10, 9, 8, 7,6 steps..... i had quickly disassembled the magazine and was trying to shake water out of it, trying not to panic


3,2 steps..... and she lunged with her machete raised very high. Destination : my neck, specifically my jugular

1 step...

The waves crashed and she was catapulted into my arms, our lips crushed together and we did this....



I felt her supple body in my arms and we kissed ....salt water mixed with our saliva.

A split second, we were both on an Island alone....a Paradise of our own making....

That was the last moment of pleasure for her because .... i pulled back the safety and pulled the trigger.

Red mist exploded on my face.....

The End.
