it sounds as if some of the reports of the incident may have been a little exaggerated

///Ms Jakymec said the decision was made following new evidence on the incident leading to the detention of the seven Nigerian men on October 25, including from mobile phone footage, witness statements and maritime expert evidence.

She said: “While initial reports had indicated there was a risk of destruction or serious damage to the ship and risk of harm to the crew, additional mobile phone footage made available to us by the police subsequently, together with further expert analysis of the evidence, cast doubt on whether the ship or the crew were in fact put in danger.

“As the evidence, when made available and fully considered, could not show that the ship or crew were threatened while in UK waters, the legal test for the offence of conduct endangering ships under s.58 Merchant Shipping Act 1995 was no longer met and we discontinued the case.”

She added that the charges against Mr Okorie and Mr Sylvester had been made on initial evidence which could no longer be relied upon.///
