The Gulf of Guinea is a key area in African trade, located in the northernmost part of the Atlantic Ocean. In 2003, there were 39 piracy attacks alone. The issue of piracy in the gulf of guinea first came about sometime in the early 2000s, for example, the attack on January 4th of 2009, when a group of pirates hijacked a French ship, which was freed after 4 days of being held. However, there were attacks going on up to around seven years before this particular attack, as it is just one of many.

The pirates in West Africa had committed attacks on 966 seafarers during the year of 2012, as well as holding hostages for an average of four days. These captives were reported being at a much greater risk to violence than those in the Indian Ocean, of which a total of five hostages were reported dead due to these attacks in West Africa, with no other fatalities being reported elsewhere.

Since then, between 2015 and 2016, there was a 77% piracy raise in the area. By 2015, there had been 57 noted attacks that year. The International Maritime Bureau reported that the number of attacks occurring in West Africa had, by 2012, surpassed those of the ones in the Indian Ocean.

It is also noted that the three main elements that were released as a sure way to overcome a piracy issue, those elements being a sufficient amount of men ready to fight back, the legal and political areas of the state to be hands-on in terms of fighting back, and a non-corrupt anti-piracy team located within the government, are all elements that Nigeria lacks. These elements are vital to ridding the state of the piracy issue.

The Turkish Maritime Task Group has expressed the desire to help Nigeria rid itself of its piracy issue by working with the Nigerian Navy to eliminate these activities and operations. The Turkish Naval commander has announced that these efforts would be made in order to maintain safe sea affairs and communications within the gulf, as well as to support the on-going efforts of tackling the piracy issue. This would contribute to the Turkish Naval personnel the opportunity to present their ideas regarding the issue. The plan is to present Turkish ideals as to how to stop such illegalities and present to Nigeria new strategies when it comes to handling such vessel attacks.
