    Navy intercepts Ghana-bound ship, nabs 11 stowaways

    The Nigerian Navy Ship Beecroft, on Thursday, paraded 11 stowaways apprehended onboard a Guangzhou Highway Panama vessel heading to Ghana.

    The stowaways said they thought the vessel was going to Europe and decided to follow it out of the country in search of greener pastures.

     

    Lieutenant Commander Ayobami Tunde-Alli, standing in for the Commander of NNS Beecroft, Commodore Kolawole Oguntuga, while speaking to journalists said the stowaways were arrested by the NNS Beecroft patrol team on Tuesday around 7pm.

    “Accordingly, Western Regional Control Centre was immediately informed and prompted the vessel to halt within Lagos anchorage.

     

    “Initially, four stowaways were apprehended from the stern of the vessel. However, information provided by these individuals revealed the presence of additional stowaways inside the ship.”
