The eight suspected pirates arrested by the Ghana Navy
aboard vessel, MT Mariam, have been remanded into prison custody by the
Adjabeng Magistrate Court in Accra.
The Ghana Navy on Saturday, January 17, foiled a pirate
attack on a Nigerian cargo vessel, MT Mariam, and captured all eight bandits.
The pirates were armed but no one, including a nine-member
crew aboard the vessel, was injured when the Ghana Navy crew aboard GNS BLIKA
effected the arrest.
The suspected pirates were on Tuesday charged with
conspiracy to commit crime and piracy when they made their first appearance in
court.
They have been remanded into prison custody and are expected
to reappear in court on February 11 for trial to commence.
