Nigerian Have Arrest Six Oil Thieves in Bayelsa

The Nigerian Navy says it has arrested six suspected oil thieves, recovered stolen crude and destroyed illegal refining sites in Bayelsa State.

 

The Director of Naval Information (DINFO), said this on Wednesday, Aiwiyor Adams-Aliu, saying the arrests and recoveries were made during operations undertaken between August 29 and September 2 by naval operatives deployed for Operation Delta Sanity.

 

Adams-Aliu said the six suspects were caught with 109 sacks of illegally refined petroleum products along the Ogboinbiri-Kasama-Azama-Isoni of Bayelsa State on August 31, also saying that four fibre and two wooden boats were also recovered the same day on the axis.

 

He also said seven large Cotonou and two fibre boats operated by armed criminals loading crude oil from an illegal point around the Botokiri axis of Nembe Local Government Area of Bayelsa State were seized on August 29.

 

Adams-Aliu says these successes show that Operation DELTA SANITY is effective and the Nigerian Navy is committed to continuing its fight against crude oil theft and boosting production.
