US Firm Petitions Nigeria's IGP Over Vessel Seizure by Military

Nujenix Corporation, a US-based ship company, has petitioned Nigeria's Inspector General of Police over the seizure of their vessel, MT Thor, alleging criminal conspiracy, theft, and vandalism by Nigerian military personnel. The company claims the vessel was unlawfully taken over, stripped of vital components, and rendered unusable.

The legal battle involves accusations of complicity, disappearance of a suspect, and interference with police investigations. The Nigerian Army is implicated in supporting the prime suspect and disrupting legal processes.

The matter has escalated into a security issue beyond a civil dispute.
