Remember that oil tanker, MV Heroic Idun, allegedly laden with 3 million barrels of crude that escaped from Nigerian Navy to Equitorial Guinea in Aug '22? Arise TV reports the ship/crew have been caught & would be paraded on Monday.

Out of the 26 member crew, 16 are Indian sailors. Equatorial Guinea had caught & detained them, but would hand them over to the Nig Navy. Some say that they have a higher chance of being released in Nig than in EG. The oil tanker is now reportedly empty.
Nigeria loses between 400,000 - 700,000 barrels of crude per day to Oil Theft. This singular high-level criminal sabotage has contributed significantly to the country's economic woes.

The Indian embassy is reportedly trying to intervene for her citizens.
I didn't see them calling their citizens thieves or other incriminating labels.
I charge Nigerian government will fully investigate this incident and do ther needful as allowed in international law.
