The
Nigerian Navy has continued its crackdown on the activities of illegal
crude oil thieves and pipeline vandals thus on 10 August 2016, a patrol
team deployed by NNS JUBILEE raided an illegal refinery site at Ikoh
Imoh Community in Akwa-Ibom State. During the operation, the patrol team
destroyed a Cotonou boat laden with suspected stolen crude oil, 103
drums of illegally refined Automotive Gas Oil (AGO) and 2 motorcycles.
Similarly,
on 12 August 16 at about 0630, patrol team deployed by NNS DELTA raided
several illegal refinery sites along Jones Creek in Delta State. During
the raid, the patrol team destroyed unquantifiable amount of stolen
crude oil and illegally refined AGO.
In
a related development, the Nigerian Navy Ship NWAMBA on 13 August 16,
at about 1000 arrested Marine Vessel (MV) STAR SHRIMPER. The vessel was
alleged to have tried to evade interrogation when intercepted by the
Nigerian Navy Vessel, with an unclear reason for its action. The vessel
and its crew are being investigated.
The
Nigerian Navy is therefore reiterating its resolve to eliminate all
forms of economic sabotage and criminal activities in the maritime
areas.
You are requested to disseminate this information for the awareness of all.
