(Reuters) - Fifteen Russian sailors detained by Nigeria's navy on suspicion of arms smuggling have been transferred to police cells for prosecution, a naval spokesman said on Wednesday.
Nigerian authorities intercepted a ship and arrested its all-Russian crew after they found several guns and about 8,500 rounds of ammunition aboard.
"On Monday, we handed over the crew to the police as we have completed preliminary investigations. The ship and the weapons are still in our custody,"
