Nimasa explains why stowaways not captured in anti piracy law

I think there may be a bit of a misunderstanding here.

NIMASA (Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency) is a regulatory agency responsible for ensuring the safety and security of Nigeria's maritime industry. However, I'm not aware of any instance where NIMASA has explained why stowaways are not captured in anti-piracy law.

Stowaways are individuals who secretly board a ship without the knowledge or consent of the ship's crew or owners. Anti-piracy laws are designed to prevent and punish acts of piracy, which are typically defined as acts of robbery or violence committed at sea.

It's possible that you may be referring to a specific incident or situation where stowaways were involved, and NIMASA may have provided an explanation or statement on the matter. If that's the case, I'd be happy to help you find more information.

However, to clarify, stowaways are not typically covered under anti-piracy laws, as they are not necessarily engaged in acts of piracy. Instead, stowaways may be considered illegal immigrants or trespassers, and may be subject to different legal frameworks and penalties.

If you have any more specific information or context about the situation you're referring to, I'd be happy to try and help you understand the relevant laws and regulations.
