"The history trail of both vessels (MT BAKER and MV EFEMENA) never made any contact between 10th and 18th April 2018.The Nigerian Navy will continue to ensure that all forms of smuggling on our waters shall not thrive because we will ensure that such smugglers are picked up and handed over to the appropriate authorities such as the EFCC" said Nwagu.
