The Nigerian Naval force has taken a formidable stand against maritime crime, pledging to take tougher measures against piracy, sea robbery, and crude oil theft in Nigeria's waterways.

During a major maritime tactical live-firing exercise in Cross River State, Nigeria, naval leaders demonstrated their operational strength and sent a clear message to criminals operating in the region.

The three-day event, codenamed Exercise Littoral Fury, marked a significant step in the force's efforts to secure Nigeria's vital maritime assets and protect the national economy.
