Nigerians Held By Somali Pirates Feel Abandoned


By SaharaReporters, New York

Family members of Nigerians hijacked by Somali pirates have deplored the Federal Government’s indifference to their relatives’ plight.

On March 2nd, 2012, Somali pirates hijacked a Nigeria-bound vessel, MT Royal Grace, off the Gulf of Eden. The vessel’s 22 crew members have been held hostage ever since. 

“It seems the Jonathan administration has abandoned my son and other Nigerian citizens in the hands of pirates in a lawless, no man’s land,” said the father of one of the hijacked crew members. He added that the hijacked crew members were being kept in Puntland, a breakaway section of Somalia.
