The executive officer of NNS Delta, Commander Levi Deyin, during the handing over of the vessel, stated that on arrest in 2019, the case was transferred to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
“On behalf of the Nigerian Navy, I, Commander L. Deyin, handover MT Miracle to you, the shipping company of the S&T Shipping Services, this day 22nd June, being a vessel that was arrested for not having proper documentation.
“And having handed over to the EFCC and you have proved your case that your documents are valid, the EFCC has also written to the base that the vessel should be handed over accordingly.
“Following the directive from Navy Headquarters, I, therefore, on behalf of the Nigerian Navy, hand over the vessel to you,” Deyin stated.
