Patrick Aganyebi, a maintenance operator aboard the Trinity Spirit oil ship, walks through his neighborhood in Igbokoda, Nigeria, on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022. Aganyebi says it was by the grace of God that he and two fellow crewmen escaped that night from the Trinity Spirit, a rusting ship anchored 15 miles (24 kilometers) off the coast of Nigeria that pulled crude oil from the ocean floor.
