Eight Nigerian pirates identified as Molih William, Molilh, Klinsman,
David Jacob, Amos Ebiyaibo, Aki Peggy John Picolo, Ayetimili Oyinle and

owner of a vessel, Sunday Nakase who said 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 upon deportation,
handed over to Nigerian authorities at the Murtala Muhammed
International Airport on January 7th. Items found on them when they
were arrested included three AK 47s, IG3 rifle, a pump-action gun and
