Pirates raided a Ghanaian fishing boat last Thursday evening, taking three Chinese crew members hostage. The attack happened when seven armed people climbed aboard the MENGXIN 1 vessel floating in Ghana waters. They shot guns into the air, causing many sailors to run for safety.

The attackers spent three hours on the ship, forcing everyone onto the main deck. They stole all the cell phones before leaving with the boat's captain, chief mate, and chief engineer. No other crew members suffered harm during this scary event.

The remaining crew had to sail closer to shore before they could tell anyone what had happened because their phones were gone, and sea areas lack signal coverage. They finally reached Tema Fishing Harbor, where they immediately reported everything to the authorities.

Ghana Armed Forces spokesperson Brigadier General Aggrey-Quashie said Marine Police and Naval Intelligence teams talked with survivors and confirmed the kidnapping. They alerted nearby nations through the ECOWAS maritime security network based in Accra. Different intelligence groups are currently searching for the missing Chinese sailors.
