A Royal Navy warship, HMS Trent, arrived in Lagos to aid the fight against illegal activities including piracy and illicit trafficking in the sub-region. The British High Commission says the visit will help deliver capacity training and support maritime security in the region. HMS Trent’s mission is to support West African allies helping countries to develop capability to fight illegal crimes at sea and ensure they can play an effective role in bringing stability to wider West Africa. HMS Trent’s Commanding Officer, Commander Tim Langford, says is an honour for HMS TRENT to return to Nigeria, an important visit on the Ship’s three-month deployment to West Africa.
