020-16 29.01.2016: 2236 UTC: Posn: 02:30N – 005:35E, Around 110nm SSW of Bayelsa, Nigeria.
Armed pirates attacked and hijacked a product tanker enroute from Lome to Bata. The Owners lost communication with the tanker and reported to the IMB Piracy Reporting Centre who in turn notified the authorities in the region. It was reported that the pirates shot and seriously injured one crew member. Before escaping the pirates damaged the communication equipment and kidnapped five crew members. The remaining crew members managed to sail the tanker to Benin where a navy patrol boat assisted in the evacuation of the injured crew member. The tanker was then escorted to Cotonou anchorage for investigation.
