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.
