22 Chinese Arrested For Illegal Fishing In Nigeria’s Waters
Four foreign vessels and their crew were held in the operation, Commodore Godwin Ochai told reporters in Onne, outside the southern oil city of Port Harcourt.
“When our troops went on board… they discovered that the four vessels had no immigration documents, neither did its 22 crew members have international passports,” he added.
“We discovered that the suspects did not have any form of permit to engage in fishing activities in the nation’s territorial waters.”
The suspects, who were arrested last Friday, were later handed over to Nigeria’s immigration service for further investigation, Ochai said.
The impounded vessels were carrying several tons of fish. Television footage showed images of the Chinese nationals being paraded before reporters.
Ochai alleged that the Chinese had breached international maritime laws and procedure by fishing in Nigerian waters without authorisation.
“The Nigerian navy… will continue to go after both foreign and domestic threats capable of undermining the nation’s security and economy,” he said.
“We will go after them, arrest them and put them forward for prosecution.”
A Nigerian immigration officer, Briggs Dawaye, said that a thorough probe would be conducted.

TRAGEDY: 19 Redeemed Church Members, 45 Others Die In Multiple Crash
“All the 19 members of Redeemed Christian Church of God who were travelling in one bus were burnt beyond recognition as the bus caught fire on collision with the other two vehicles which also burst in flames shortly afterwards,” said Yusuf Sani, spokesman of the Federal Road Safety Commission in Yobe state.
“The victims in the other two vehicles were returning from a wedding.”
The spokesman blamed the collision, which occurred on the highway, on speeding.
On Sunday, 20 traders returning from a local market were killed when the open van they were in collided with an articulated truck, Sani said, attributing the accident to “reckless overtaking”.
Sixteen of the 20 victims were girls who had been selling wares, he added.
Another 10 persons also died in another crash on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.
“We recorded 55 deaths in two road crashes on Sunday and Monday due to speeding and reckless overtaking,” said Yusuf Sani, Nigerian Road Safety spokesman for Yobe state.
On the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway crash, the Commander of Olympic Unit of the commission, Mr Tanya Adeoye, who made the confirmation, told newsmen in Ibadan that the dead were burnt beyond recognition.
Adeoye said that four persons survived the crash which involved two trucks and one 18-seater Toyota Hiace commercial bus with registration number BDG 767 XB.
He said that the bus, which was travelling from Ibadan to Lagos was rammed into by a truck while it stopped to allow another truck with registration number SW 175 EPE to pull out of a quarry.
He attributed the accident to speeding and dangerous driving, saying that “the commercial bus immediately went up in flames and the flames later spread to other trucks.’’
He said that the four people who sustained injuries were in the trucks and had been taken to the University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan for treatment.
“The victims who were burnt beyond recognition were deposited at the Adeoye State Hospital mortuary,” Adeoye added.
He disclosed that the commission was making efforts to contact the families of the victims through the driver’s manifest which was not burnt.
Accidents are frequent on Nigeria’s poorly maintained roads due largely to speeding, overloading and reckless driving.
