The coast off Nigeria is the “most dangerous in the world”, the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) has warned.
The London-based organisation, which monitors global piracy, did not make this comment in recent days — although it might well have done.
The warning came 16 years ago and has been repeated in various forms many times since.
As recently as 2016, IMB director Pottengal Mukundan talked of “unacceptable violence” against ships and their crews off Nigeria.
