Operatives of the Nigerian Navy (NN) have arrested two fishing trawlers for alleged illegal activities in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.
The Nigerian flagged vessels BANALY V and OLOKUN V were allegedly caught with variety of fishes despite being licensed for inshore shrimping. According to Director Naval Information Commodore Suleman Dahun, the vessels were arrested around ANTAN field, 21 nautical miles off the Nigerian coastline, a distance they had no business at.
