Missing tanker found in Nigeria
| I thought we ran this a few days ago? |
A missing oil tanker laden with crude oil has been found, the Nigerian navy has announced at a parliamentary hearing. The MT Jimoh was found at Dutch Island, close to Port Harcourt with a freshly painted name - MT Lord on its side. The MT Jimoh and a Russian oil tanker, the MT African Pride, were seized suspected of being used to smuggle crude oil out of Nigeria. But both disappeared from custody several weeks ago causing huge embarrassment, with navy and police officials blaming each other. A naval officer said three people on board had been arrested when the ship was found last week. "The missing ship has been arrested," navy commander Kabir Aliyu told AFP news agency.
