Navy Cracks Down on Extortion Syndicate Harassing Fishermen in Bonny Creek

The Nigerian Navy, acting on credible intelligence, carried out a joint operation with the Army at a hideout in Asaramatoru community along Bonny Creek. The raid forced suspects to flee and yielded weapons parts, empty ammunition magazines and ATM cards. Local residents revealed the gang had been extorting fishermen and waterway users, demanding illegal levies on market proceeds. The intervention has restored confidence among affected communities and disrupted the network’s stronghold. Valuable intelligence recovered will guide follow-up actions to dismantle the wider criminal network. The Navy reaffirmed its commitment to continued intelligence-driven operations to safeguard Nigeria’s waterways.
