Stakeholders on maritime sector on Sunday expressed worry over worsening spate of piracy on Nigerian waters with offenders allegedly operating without fear of being arrest and punished.
A cross-section of the stakeholders who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in separate interviews called for the establishment of “Coast Guard” in the country and a push on Piracy Bill at the National Assembly.
The Coast Guard is a maritime, military, multi-mission service unique among the U.S. military branches for having a maritime law enforcement mission with jurisdiction covering both domestic and international waters.
