Sea pirates at about noon today, Thursday, September 26, hijacked two
boats on the Port Harcourt-Bonny waterways, whisking away the 24
passengers inside the boats.
An Eyewitness, Ezekiel Hart, and an indigene of Bonny, said the two boats took off from Port Harcourt jetty and were fully loaded passengers and goods. He said the passengers and crew were sailing smoothly until the armed pirates ambushed them at a location on the high seas called “Yellow Platform”.
