Ogalla Extends Navy’s Operation Delta Sanity to. Sustain Combat against Crude Oil Theft 

On 6 January 2024, The Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Vice Admiral EI Ogalla launched Operation DELTA SANITY to combat Crude Oil Theft. This was in line with the President and Commander-in-Chief’s directive to eradicate crude oil theft and ramp up Nigeria’s production for an improved economy.

Accordingly, Operation DELTA SANITY was conceptualised as a major anti-crude oil theft operation, the Nigerian Navy personnel, platforms, helicopters and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles were deployed on aggressive surveillance and interdiction operations across the Niger Delta area.

Additionally, commands, units and bases were directed to conduct both Kinetic and non-Kinetic operations to stem the tide of maritime criminalities.
