SBS retake 42,000-ton oil tanker off the Isle of Wight in just SEVEN MINUTES as 16 commandos storm it from air and sea to detain seven 'Nigerian stowaways' who 'threatened to kill crew' forcing desperate captain to issue mayday.
Seven suspects were detained after military seized control of oil tanker that laid anchor in the English Channel
Restriction zone of five nautical miles was in place around vessel, which last sailed from Nigeria on October 6
Ship is reportedly Liberian-registered and set to dock in Southampton at around 10.30am Sunday morning
Lawyers representing owners of the vessel said the incident '100 per cent not a hijacking', despite reports.
