Bundled Back Home! See Photos of 8 Notorious Nigerian Pirates Deported by Ghanaian Authorities

Upon the directive by the Ghanaian Minister of Interior after an exhaustive legal process in Accra, eight suspected notorious Nigerian pirates have been deported by the country's authorities.

They were handed over to Niger­ian authorities by a team of officials represented by the Ghana Police Serv­ice and the Ghana Immigration Serv­ice under the leadership of DSP Peter Kamasa of the Interpol, Accra, to officials of the National Criminal Bureau, Lagos at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Ikeja, on Janu­ary 7, 2016.

The suspects are Molih William, Molilh Klinsman, David Jacob, Amos Ebiyaibo, Aki Peggy, John Picolo, Ayetimili Oyinle and Pinano Saniyu.

The arrest of the pirates followed a complaint lodged by the Nigerian owner of a vessel, Sunday Nakase who said the men had stolen the ves­sel - MT Mariam - together with its crude oil contents and directed the crew to steer to an undisclosed desti­nation.

They were arrested by personnel of the Ghana Navy and handed over to the police.

A search revealed three AK 47s, IG3 rifle, a pump-action gun and 256 rounds of ammunition. Other items found on board the vessel were tablets, monies, walkie talkies, speed boats and two Yamaha outboard motors.
