The Nigerian Navy, weekend, claimed that it had been able to curb acts of illegalities in the nation’s territorial waters in spite of its aging fleet.

To this effect, the Flag Officer Commanding, FOC, Western Naval Command, Apapa, Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete, said several vessels involved in illegal activities had been arrested and handed over to prosecuting agencies.

The FOC, who spoke while reviewing a parade marking the end of his second bi-annual inspection of units under the Western Naval Command, attributed the feat to what he described as hard work and responsiveness of  personnel in the command.
