Nigeria seeks $1.4m to bring in security ship donated by South Korea to fight piracy amidst claims of sabotage of Nigeria by member states in the Gulf of Guinea.

Europe is preparing to enhance its naval presence in the north west Indian Ocean “to uphold freedom of navigation” in the world’s trade jugular.
The Indian Ocean project was outlined in a “concept note” by the EU foreign service, seen by EUobserver, and it would operate in a new MAI (maritime area of interest) covering a vast area from the Red Sea, to Madagascar, the Maldives, and the Strait of Hormuz.
