Illegal bunkering, oil theft activities has reduced in Niger Delta – Buratai

By Newsdesk

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, has refuted notion in some quarters that illegal bunkering, refinery and oil theft had not reduced in Niger Delta region.

While responding to questions from journalists in Uyo, on Tuesday, Buratai said with the establishment of new army formations in the region, illegal activities were being checkmated.

The army chief was on tour of army formations in Aka Ibom, including the newly established 2 Brigade in Uyo.

He said, “Strictly speaking, there is no rise (in illegal bunkering and oil theft) because of the efforts of all the stakeholders, the military and other security agencies, working hard to make sure that the sabotage is checked.

“That is why you see so many arrests, so many moves to stop the illegal bunkering. It is a new drive, new effort put by all the security agencies.
