“Upon sighting our operatives some of the suspects abandoned the illegal bunkering site and took to their heels manoeuvring through the creek. However, the arrested 3 suspects are currently assisting us with the necessary information and after a thorough investigation; they will be appropriately charged to Court’.

“While carrying out the operations the following items were sighted as exhibits: 1 large dugout reservoir used for storing siphoned crude oil from a Multinational oil well manifold, Several sizes of rubber hoses used for pumping crude and many metallic  galvanized pipes, Caliberated rubber surface tanks, several other surface reservoirs, Buckets, Kegs, funnels used for carrying out their illegal bunkering activities”.

“Let me on this note appreciate our informants and also encourage them not to relent in giving actionable Intelligence that would lead to the arrest of the perpetrators; Our commitment to rid the nation of all acts of economic sabotage in the oil region remains firm and we will not be deterred even as we advice those engaging in such unscrupulous business to repent or face the full wrath of the law”.
