Pirates attacked a vessel operated by oil major ExxonMobil in the Niger Delta in southern Nigeria on Tuesday, killing a crew member and injuring another, private security contractors working in the oil industry said. Attacks by politically motivated rebels in the delta, who last year shut down a fifth of Nigerian oil production, have subsided since a new president took office in May but armed robbers and pirates still stage sporadic raids in the creeks.

I can't help but think of captain Jack Sparrow when pirates are mentioned. however, just like in the movies, it seems that the actions of these sea bandits are something the goverments can't seem to control.
