The eight Nigerian pirates who were arrested by the Ghana Navy last Saturday will be arraigned before court today, Friday January 23.
The eight high sea robbers were arrested in Tema, for hijacking a fuel vessel in Nigeria. The suspects are alleged to have hijacked the ship in Nigeria and demanded a huge ransom from the nine crew members aboard.
The BNI is holding all nine crew members including the captain on board the ship. They consider the ship a crime scene.
There are concerns the BNI may not have the jurisdiction to prosecute them since they are foreign nationals.
But sources at the state security agency say they are within their rights to press charges against the alleged bandits.
