Oil Theft: JTF Arrests 18 Suspects, Destroys 31 Illegal Refineries by Princecalm(m): 11:48am On Aug 03, 2015 |
The Joint Task Force (JTF) in the Niger Delta, ‘Operation Pulo Shield’, arrested 18 suspected oil thieves and destroyed 31 illegal oil refineries in multiple raids in July. This is contained in a statement issued by Lt.-Col. Isa Ado, media coordinator of the JTF, in Yenagoa yesterday. It stated that troops of JTF deployed at Iguododo community and Chanomi Escravos in Orhionmwon and Warri South West Local Government Areas of Edo and Delta discovered and destroyed 15 illegal refining camps. The statement noted that the suspects operated with four Cotonou boats, seven plastic reservoirs, 34 drums and 21 surface tanks filled with illegally refined Automated Gas Oil (diesel). It stated that other items discovered and destroyed were 21 cooking ovens and eight pumping machines. The statement stated that the suspects fled on sighting the troops. “The squad also arrested 16 suspects for other criminal offences ranging from kidnapping, armed robbery, sea piracy, cultism and pipeline vandalism. “Items recovered from them include locally made gun with live rounds of ammunition and axe. The suspects are in custody of the JTF for preliminary investigation before handing them over to prosecuting agency,” it stated. According to the statement, troops deployed at Ughelli in Delta following a distress call from Afiesere community arrested a notorious armed robbery suspect with a locally made shotgun and three live cartridges. It stated that the recovered gun and cartridges were handed over to prosecuting agency while a stolen motorcycle recovered from him was handed over to the owner. The statement noted that JTF, in conjunction with Southern Ijaw Oil and Gas Task Force, destroyed 16 illegal bunkering sites along Obi creek, Gbenekrukru, Oloma and Ogbonga waterways of Bayelsa and Rivers, respectively. It stated that the sites were destroyed along with metal tanks and Cotonou boats filled with stolen crude oil. The statement stated that no arrest was made as the operators of the illicit act fled on sighting JTF troops. www.leadership.ng/news/451376/oil-theft-jtf-arrests-18-suspects-destroys-31-illegal-refineries
