Hmm, quite amazing story. First in the history of Ghana? No, I remember a ship-load of cocoa went missing during the pNDC times(80s or 90s?).

If Africom Headquarters was stationed in Ghana, at least our 911 call will get a more rapid response; anaa?

BTW, is it too late to go and ask Massa to comeback? Call some of us turncoats, traitors, or even quislings; but what's wrong with Massa having his Africom Headquarters in Kumasi, Accra, Tamale, or even Kintampo?

We do not want Nigerians in our country. If Ghanaian were not Christians we would kill all Nigerians at once.

A pirate walks into a bar and the bartender says, "Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened, you look terrible!"
"What do you mean?" the pirate replies, "I'm fine."
The bartender says, "But what about that wooden leg? You didn't have that before."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in a battle at sea and a cannon ball hit my leg but the surgeon fixed me up, and I'm fine, really."
"Yeah," says the bartender, "But what about that hook? Last time I saw you, you had both hands."
"Well," says the pirate, "We were in another battle and we boarded the enemy ship. I was in a sword fight and my hand was cut off but the surgeon fixed me up with this hook, and I feel great, really."
"Oh," says the bartender, "What about that eye patch? Last time you were in here you had both eyes."
"Well," says the pirate, "One day when we were at sea, some birds were flying over the ship. I looked up, and one of them shit in my eye."
"So?" replied the bartender, "what happened? You couldn't have lost an eye just from some bird shit!"
"Well," says the pirate, "I really wasn't used to the hook yet."

My friend, this is not politics matter. We do this and give criminals leverage to exploit to their advantage. There are thieves out there on the high sea and you want to divert attention to internal politics. Those of us living outside are worried about our goods being stolen in a similar manner so serious attention must be paid to this criminal act.

What happened when the Authorities received the distress call? Did the attack take place in Ghana's teritorial waters or in Togolese waters? Where is the ship and its crew?
I hope the government is not going to tell us that, like the Malasia Airline flight MH370, they cannot trace the ship and its crew.

For decades funds from the sale of cocoa at the world market have been used to fund the military. The Ghana navy is superfluous and inconsequential.

Yes the navy should be equipped with modern vessels to handle piracy. That should be done first. Fortunately the cds is a navy officer.

The crew Captain and crew sometimes collaborate with the Pirates to sell the cargo and make it look as if they were attacked!With the distress call it should have included position of the vessel. With that it would be easier to track them! Suspicion!!!!!

One man's pirate is another man's freedom fighter.
Which black man can goes and sucks oil from europe and leave europeans with almost nothing plus mess up their ecological habitat?
Look at Obuasi.
Piracy of oil tankers is the Government's headache.They brought in the europeans and americans so they must guarantee their safety,since they share the profits together.
Nobody would most likely think of piracy if the real sons of the soil controlled or enjoyed a better share of the spoils of what they truly own.
As the saying goes,there is no smoke without fire .

What is the Ghana Air Force and Ghana Navy doing? Feeding fat on the nation's lean purse??? Very shameful indeed. The Ghana Armed Forces must bury their heads in shame at this naked disgrace of the nation's fire power.
