He said that by the men had stolen his oil ves­sel, MT Mariam, together with its crude oil contents and directed the crew to steer to an undisclosed destination.

They were arrested by Ghanian police officers and were handed over to the Niger­ian authorities at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport on Janu­ary 7 after being deported.
