Nigerian Ship Hijacking: Militants Refers To Pro-Biafra.

Militants who hijacked a ship off the south Nigerian coast and demanded the release of Nnamdi Kanu are criminals without affiliation to the Biafran cause, a maritime security analyst tells Debo9ja.
It was latter discovered that the hijacking of the Greek owned ship flagging Liberian, called the MT Leon Dias—took place 115 nautical miles south-southwest of Brass, a town in Bayelsa state on the southern Nigerian coast.
 The vessel was reportedly hijacked last Friday and a spokesman for the militants, known only as General Ben, demanded that Kanu—the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) group— be released from Nigerian detention within 31 days, or the ship would be destroyed and its crew murdered. But, latter the hijackers demanded for ransom with out the inclusion of the release of Nnamdi Kalu which made it clear that, the inclusion of pro-Biafran agitators is a sabotage.
