Two sailors kidnapped as pirates attack tanker off Nigeria

Two Turkish seafarers have been kidnapped in Nigerian waters as pirates attacked their tanker Basat.
The mishap occurred in the morning of November 5 while the vessel was en route from Douala (Cameroon) to Abidjan (Cote d‘Ivoire) with 14-man crew onboard. The 132-metre vessel was boarded by armed Nigerian pirates who opened fire with riffles and took control over the vessel.
