Nigerian Navy reacts to viral video of its ship ‘in distress’ via politicsngr

POLITICS NIGERIA reports that a crew member of a Service Boat Motor Vessel Pacesetter could be seen lamenting “why a Nigerian Navy war ship should be in such a terrible and helpless situation at sea, and calling on Nigerians to vote for Peter Obi, presidential candidate of the Labour Party, otherwise the country will sink just like NNS Thunder”.

The Navy’s statement partly reads: “Considering that such video is capable of being exploited for negative political gains at this electioneering period, the NN wishes to set the records straight for the benefit of all Nigerians. “The Ship used her submersible pumps and crew to pump out the water. However, after several efforts, the Ship sent out a distress call to NNS Delta, Naval Base Warri as well as other vessels within its vicinity for possible assistance.

“Currently, the situation is under control as the Commanding Officer of NNS Thunder has confirmed that the water ingress has been contained and the Ship is proceeding to Lagos as initially planned.”
