Four Nigerian men who allegedly hid in a ship going to UK, smeared poop on its windows and tried to hijack it face trial

According to Dailymail, Samuel Jolumi, 26, Ishola Sunday , 27, Toheeb Popoola, 26, and Joberto McGee, 20, were all charged with affray after they allegedly tried to take control of the 77-ft Grande Tema cargo vessel, which was coming to the UK from Nigeria.

They were said to have smeared faeces on the ship windows and demanded that the ship be moved closer to shore so they could swim to England before being seized by the police. 

When the matter came up for trial before Chelmsford magistrates in Essex yesterday, the Prosecutor, Sam Doyle, asked for a three week adjournment as the case 'appears to be under charged'. Under the intended amendment to their charges they could face life imprisonment.
