Former Minister of Interior, Captain Emmanuel Iheanacho has
been arrested over his alleged involvement in the hijack of a vessel said to be
carrying suspected stolen petroleum products. The Director General of the
Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) Mr. Patrick Akpobolokemi who disclosed the
arrest said that the search for the
sponsors of these pirates has led to the tracing of the stolen products to
Integrated oil and Gas Limited tank farm owned by the Captain Iheanacho. The
premises of Integrated oil and Gas Limited tank farm has been sealed off pending
investigation.
NIMASA has realized that there are the kingpins and the big
men who facilitate piracy adding the agency in collaboration with other
security operatives and the agency is poised to unravel the people behind the
sale, purchase and storage of the stolen products.
