Nigerian pirates abduct six sailors from oil tanker
I'm not aware of any recent reports of Nigerian pirates abducting sailors from an oil tanker. However, piracy has been a significant problem in the Gulf of Guinea, including Nigerian waters, in recent years.
According to the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), there were 95 reported piracy incidents in the Gulf of Guinea in 2020, resulting in the kidnapping of 135 crew members. The majority of these incidents occurred in Nigerian waters.
Pirates in the region often target oil tankers and other vessels carrying valuable cargo, as well as crew members. The kidnappings are often carried out by armed gangs who demand ransom payments in exchange for the safe release of the hostages.
It's worth noting that the Nigerian Navy and other regional authorities have been working to combat piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, and there have been some successes in recent years. However, the problem remains a significant challenge for the region's maritime industry.
If you're looking for more information on this specific incident, I would recommend checking with reputable news sources or maritime organizations for updates.
