Mr Folorunsho reaffirmed the Nigerian Navy’s commitment to sustaining intelligence-led operations.
He said that the suspects intended to go to Europe.
The commander explained that drugs handed over to the NDLEA were destroyed by burning after a court injunction had been obtained.
He said the navy would continue to maintain credible presence along Lagos waterways and its adjoining creeks.
The deployment included other facilities and a patrol vessel of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency.
“On sighting Nigerian Navy’s patrol team gunboats, the suspected pirates fled into the bushes.’’
