The Nigerian Navy’s Operation Delta Sanity 11 has intercepted over 120,000 liters of stolen crude oil in February 2025 alone.

The operation, which is part of the Nigerian Navy’s efforts to combat maritime crimes and protect the nation’s economic interests, has been yielding positive results since its inception.

According to a statement by the Director of Information, Nigerian Navy, Commodore Awiyour Adams-Aliu, the operation has consistently thwarted numerous efforts by crude oil thieves, contributing to an increase in Nigeria’s crude oil output.

“The Nigerian Navy has consistently thwarted numerous efforts by crude oil thieves. These successes have contributed positively to the increase in Nigeria’s crude oil output,” the statement read.

Giving the breakdown, the Naval Spokesman said: ” On Saturday 1 February 2025, a wooden boat laden with 19 x 250 litres drums of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS) being smuggled to the Republic of Cameroon was seized around Effiat creek, Akwa Ibom State.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC), Mr. Gbenga Komolafe, confirmed that Nigeria’s daily crude oil production has risen to about 1.75 million barrels per day, underscoring the effectiveness of Operation Delta Sanity 11.

The Chief of Naval Staff, Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ikechukwu Ogalla, reaffirmed the Nigerian Navy’s commitment to combating maritime crimes and safeguarding the nation’s waters.

The success of Operation Delta Sanity 11 is a testament to the Nigerian Navy’s dedication to protecting the nation’s economic interests and ensuring the security of its maritime domain.
