Nigeria jails 10 pirates over ship hijacking ...Qatar

A Nigerian court yesterday jailed 10 pirates for 12 years each over the hijacking of a merchant vessel last year, the navy said, in the second such trial under a new anti-piracy law. The pirates, all of them Nigerian, were convicted of hijacking the Chinese merchant ship FV Hailufeng II in the Gulf of Guinea in 2020. Kidnap attacks against ships for ransom have become common in the Gulf of Guinea, which runs from Senegal to Angola, taking in the southwest coast of Nigeria. The perpetrators are usually Nigerian pirates. Judge Ayokunle Faji of the Federal High Court in Lagos said the sentences were intended as a deterrent to others. As well as the jail terms, he fined each of the men 250,000
