My vessel was hijacked by some boys who forced the loaded crude into my ship,” Mr Manasseh said in his confessional statement.“I don’t know the hijackers at all.

Complicity, I believe NN has something it's covering.

Wetin these people mean by Tompolo’s men? So now tompolo is stronger than Nigerian navy. SMH 🤦‍♂️

Why destroy the evidence. Whom ever gave that command should be questioned

Nigerian Navy successfully destroys the evidence that could have lit up investigations and possible exposures.

Why should they burn the vessel? They should hold the guy that lit up the vessel 'coz he knows something.

The Nigerian should be probed for criminal ollaboration all these years. Economic bandits everywhere.

Militants doing what our government couldn't do? Well done APC
