Oil Theft: Troops Destroy 54 Sites, Seize 194,000 Liters of Oil in N/Delta

 

The anti illegal bunkering operations, being conducted by troops of 6 Division, Nigerian Army, in the Niger Delta has been on trajectory that has set the criminal elements on the run. This is manifesting in the number of illegal refining sites destroyed, arrests made and products confiscated. In a bid to maintain the momentum, troops have been traversing the length and breadth of the operational landscape with huge successes recorded.

 

The operations led to the destruction of over 27 newly established illegal refining sites and confiscation over 100,000 litres of stolen crude in various operations conducted. Troops of 29 Battalion, while exploiting deep into the fringes of notorious Imo River, a renowned hub of criminal activities destroyed over 23 newly established illegal refining sites. This was in addition to 2 storage reservoirs with over 80,000 litres of stolen crude confiscated. Also, 3 vehicles loaded with illegally refined Automotive Gas Oil, stashed in Gp tanks and sacks have been confiscated. The products confiscated are estimated to be over 8000 litres.

In Cowthorne Channel II, in Degema Local Government Area, troops of 16 Brigade in conjunction with other security agencies discovered and destroyed over 4 illegal refining sites with 3 metal drums, in addition to pits containing stolen crude estimated to be over 6000 litres. This feat is in addition to other pockets of seizures made by troops of 6 Division in the region. The products confiscated are being handled appropriately.

 

The General Officer Commnading, 6 Division, Nigerian Army, Major General Jamal Abdussalam, while commending troops for their renewed disposition to take criminal merchants out of business, charged them to ensure the integrity of the pipelines are maintained. This he said, will ensure oil companies conduct their activities seamless, as this will guarantee the expected  improvement in oil production in line with the operational directive of the Chief of Defence Staff. He also called on critical stakeholders, particularly host communities to continue to provide credible intelligence on the activities of these criminals to security agencies.
