The Nigerian Navy has released a circular containing the names and photographs of the deserters, and also appealed to members of the public with useful information that could lead to their arrest to report to the nearest Naval facility or Police station.
While no reason was given for the disappearance of the officers, the circular also mandated all Navy Personnel with information on the whereabouts of the 43 personnel to arrest them or be dealt with as an accomplice.
It was further learnt that some of the naval personnel deserted while serving on naval vessels and a ship which berthed in countries in Europe. After their ship landed in Europe, they escaped and ran away.
