Navy Deploys Ships, Helicopters Against Maritime Crimes

The Nigerian Navy has intensified its operations against rising maritime crimes by deploying additional ships and helicopters across key waterways. This move aims to curb piracy, oil theft, illegal bunkering, and other criminal activities threatening national maritime security.

According to naval authorities, the expanded deployment will enhance surveillance, rapid response, and interception capabilities along strategic coastal and offshore routes. The operation also includes coordinated air-sea patrols, intelligence-driven missions, and joint efforts with other security agencies.

Officials say the initiative is part of ongoing efforts to protect Nigeria’s blue economy, ensure safe navigation, and boost investor confidence in the maritime sector. The Navy reiterated its commitment to sustaining pressure on criminal networks operating in the Gulf of Guinea and surrounding waters.
