A new report by the US-based group, Oceans Beyond Piracy, says pirates increasingly kidnap for ransom in the Gulf of Guinea. It says these waters, off the West African coast, have become the most dangerous region in the world for seafarers because of the rise in the number of pirate attacks and the level of violence used. Akwasi Sarpong discussed the issue with Commodore Chris Ezekobe, of the Nigerian Navy and Matt Walje who wrote the report.
