NNS Beecroft Hands Over Rescued Ghanaian Stowaways to Immigration Service
Nigerian Navy Ship NNS BEECROFT handed over three suspected Ghanaian stowaways to the Nigeria Immigration Service at the Apapa parade ground in Lagos. The men were rescued from the merchant vessel MT ANATOLIA while it was berthed at Dangote Terminal. Commodore Aiwuyor Adams-Aliu said the suspects—Armah Peter (26), Amisah Daniel (22), and Amoh Michael (25)—hid in the rudder compartment on March 28. They had earlier lived and fished in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, for about a year before boarding the vessel to attempt an illegal journey to Europe. The handover is part of joint efforts between security agencies to curb illegal migration and enhance maritime safety. The Nigeria Immigration Service will complete judicial procedures before transferring the suspects to the Ghanaian Embassy.
