    Navy Seizes 90,000 Litres of Stolen Crude Oil in Ondo Operation

    The Nigerian Navy has intercepted a wooden boat transporting 90,000 litres of stolen crude oil in the Araromi riverine community, located in Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State.

    According to information obtained by PRNigeria, the operation was carried out by personnel from the Forward Operating Base (FOB), Igbokoda, following credible intelligence on illegal bunkering activities in the region.

     

    Speaking to journalists on Friday in Igbokoda, the Commanding Officer of FOB, Capt. Aliyu Usman, said the interception was part of ongoing efforts to curb crude oil theft and safeguard national economic assets.

    Usman said that, preliminary investigations revealed that the crude oil was illegally sourced from abandoned oil well heads located offshore in Igbokoda and was enroute Lagos before the interception.

    According to him, on sighting the naval team, the suspects manning the boat fled into the creeks in an accompanying speedboat, evading arrest.

    “Navy personnel recovered key items from the intercepted vessel, including three pumping machines, a long discharge hose, and two high-powered outboard engines used for navigation.

    “The boat and all recovered equipment have since been processed in line with extant Defence Headquarters regulations.

     

    “The latest interception underscores the Navy’s sustained efforts to curb oil theft and uphold the integrity of Nigeria’s vital oil infrastructure,” he said.

     

    Usman, however, reaffirmed the Nigerian Navy’s unwavering commitment to protecting the nation’s maritime domain and safeguarding critical national assets.

    He said that the operation also aligned with the Chief of Naval Staff’s operational directive to crack down on economic saboteurs and ensure maritime security.
