A Federal High Court has convicted two foreign nationals and one Nigerian over their alleged involvement in sea piracy.

The three convicts were among nine persons earlier accused for terrorism and kidnapping, following the role they played in facilitating the payment of two hundred thousand dollars as ransome for the release of kidnapped crew members of a vessel, off the coast of Equatorial Guinea earlier this year.
