Duties and ResponsibilitiesMaritime crime cases in Nigeria’s territorial waters are on the rise, and they are extending to international waters. Due to the reduced oil-prices and the weakened oil marked, attacks are no longer only targeting oil theft as previous seen, but also involving kidnappings for ransom, similar to what was experienced in East Africa. Currently, prosecutions of maritime crimes and piracy in Nigeria are close to non-existent.
During a mapping exercise conducted for maritime law enforcement and judiciary in the Gulf of Guinea in 2013, GMCP identified some of the challenges in responding to maritime crime in the region as lack in maritime law enforcement capacity and national coordination among key entities involved in fighting maritime crime.
The UNODC GMCP is currently implementing project of the Danish Gulf of Guinea Maritime Security Programme (GoG MSP) 2019-2021 to strengthen regional capabilities and capacities for maritime domain awareness (MDA) and response as well as a longer-term institutional strengthening of maritime governance.
The programme is funded through the Danish Peace and Stabilisation Fund (PSF), which draws from both Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Foreign Affairs sources. The overall objective of the support is to ensure enhanced regional maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea through more capable maritime and law enforcement institutions at national and regional level.
The purpose of the assignment is to ensure that law enforcement entities in Nigeria, Ghana and Zone E countries of the Yaoundé Architecture have the skills to conduct successful operations at sea in response to piracy, armed robbery and other forms of maritime crime, including securing proper evidence collection for onwards prosecution.Therefore, the incumbent is expected to provide advisory role by supporting MLE entities in Nigeria, Ghana, and Zone E in order to advise and guide the day-to-day operations, provide training, strengthen coordination and cooperation with other key entities for sea operations.
