Piracy attacks off Nigeria’s coast fell to 14 in the first quarter from 22 a year ago after the navy improved its response to incidents, the International Maritime Bureau said.

“These results confirm the Nigerian navy’s increased efforts to actively respond to reported incidents by dispatching patrol boats,” the London-based body that tracks attacks on sea vessels said. “Despite these efforts, Nigerian waters remain risky for vessels, especially the port of Lagos where four incidents have been reported.”

The Gulf of Guinea retained its notoriety for piracy with 22 incidents reported during the period. The region accounted for all the crew kidnappings reported globally in the three months, after 21 of them were taken in five separate attacks, the IMB said. Incidents were reported off the coast of Benin, Cameroon, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Liberia, Nigeria and Togo in the first quarter, it said.

Thats cool let them strive for zero incidents of privacy. Nigeria is still most dangerous country in gulf of Guinea glancing at the numbers. Hopefully the Deep Blue Project makes a big impact. Its just the 1st quarter so lets see if this downward trend continues the rest of the year.

Gulf of Guinea is more dangerous actually. Nigerian waters are more dangerous than Somalian waters now. It's just covered in media like there's was.

Don't be deceived
We still had the highest incidence in africa

Somâila even recorded a very low pirate incidence compare to Nigeria.... Nigeria going for the dogs

Na wah

So this pirate thing is for real.
I thought it was only for pirates Of The Caribbean.

This is sad.

They have made money flow to dwindle.

In those days, money was flowing and there was money in the seas and pirates were having a filled day.

Where did you see privacy sir?

Have you smoked that stuff again?

Though it's getting minimal but no tanker vessel in naija coastal water won't carries Navy onboard during loading and discharging of products. All the tanker vessels I have worked with we always have fully armed navy onboard each time we want to load petroleum products in any of our refineries especially P/H. But pirates do attack fishing trawlers alot, they are prone to attack irrespective of the security personnels onboard.

Securing the waterways are not really easy so they should try harder.

Dont act dense. Do you think the crew members reporting these incidents are lying just because.

This is what is causing the Truck gridlock in Lagos.
