Nigeria
Description
Nigeria operates as a sovereign flag state whose maritime registry flies on the Agile, a ship central to an ongoing investigation. Staff reference this flag to confirm the vessel's nationality and jurisdictional ties, positioning Nigeria as a registry authority that shapes international shipping identities and compliance probes. No government officials or internal structures appear; it functions solely as a flag denoting regulatory origin amid U.S. scrutiny.
