Nave Andromeda — Home Office criticises decision | Isle of Wight County Press

A SENIOR CPS prosecutor said there is no evidence that an attempt was made to hijack or endanger an oil tanker during an incident off the Isle of Wight in October.
The statement by Joanne Jakymec, chief prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) Wessex, comes after the Home Office criticised a decision to drop the prosecution against seven Nigerian men detained aboard the Nave Andromeda by British special forces.
Two men — Matthew John Okorie, 25, and Sunday Sylvester, 22— had been charged with an offence relating to conduct endangering ships under Section 58 of the Merchant Shipping Act 1995, but their charges have now been dropped.
