The Nigerian Navy (NN) has arrested 75 stowaways who attempted to escape the country through criminal and unconventional methods.
The NN deployed advanced Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) equipment to vector Quick Response Teams (QRT) to all parts of Nigeria’s territorial waters, apprehending about 75 stowaways between August 2023 and April 2024.
The NN aims to enlighten and warn the general public on the dangers of attempting to travel as a stowaway, including severe legal consequences and significant health risks.
The NN uses this opportunity to discourage Nigerian youths from embarking on such misadventures and ensures that the Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) is properly notified of the situation.
