HMS Trent, a UK Royal Navy warship, has berthed in Lagos to support Nigeria’s efforts in combatting crimes on the sea.
The warship arrived on Sunday.
The development would enable the Royal Navy to deliver capacity training and maritime support on tackling sea piracy and illegal trafficking.
Speaking on the deployment of the warship, Tim Langford, HMS Trent’s commanding officer, said the visit is an opportunity for the UK navy to work with their Nigerian counterparts.
