Nigeriafilms.com reports that despite the arms in their possession, the criminals were overpowered by the naval crew who were aboard GNS BLIKA. Luckily for the nine-member crew aboard MT Mariam, none of them was injured during the incident.

The pirates were apprehended after the owners of the hijacked ship alerted the Ghana navy about the incident and requested assistance.
According to the Public Relations Officer of the 1 Garrison, Ghana Armed Forces, Lt Maxwell Asola, all the eight pirates are Nigerians.

The arrest was said to have taken place at about 10:30am after the owner of the MV Mariam vessel alerted the Ghanian authorities. He said the pirates told him by telephone that they wanted to use the vessel to carry out an attack and subsequently banged the phone on him after the conversation.
