The Defence Headquarters says troops of Operation Delta Safe have overran identified sea pirates/militants hideout at Ibiakafemo, Idinkiri, Tombie and Ogboma and rescued five expatriates who were kidnapped in May.

The Coordinator, Defence Media Operations, Maj.-Gen. John Enenche, disclosed this in a statement on Tuesday in Abuja.

Enenche said that some expatriates were on May 9, onboard MT RIO MITONG and MT DJIBLOHO, were kidnapped by unknown militants group in Yellow Island.

He said that a joint team from Forward Operating Base Bonny, Nigerian Navy Ship Pathfinder and troops of 146 Battalion combed the creeks in search of the kidnapped victims acting on credible intelligence.

According to him, after a thorough search and rescue operation, the gallant troops raided and destroyed the hideouts to deny the pirates freedom of action.

“Consequently, in the early hours of Oct. 6, the pirates/militants compelled by the ongoing operation surrendered to the gallant troops and handed over the five kidnapped expatriates at Iwofe Waterfront.

“The five expatriates comprising three Russians, one Ukranian and one Equatorial Guinean are presently at NNS Pathfinder medical centre receiving medical attention.

Enenche further disclosed that the joint team also intercepted two large wooden boats laden with an estimated 350,000 litres of suspected stolen illegally refined AGO and about 10,000 litres of stolen crude oil.

He said that the stolen petroleum products had been recovered to the Base.

“The Military High Command commends the gallant troops for their resilience and encourages them to sustain the tempo against the enemies of our country.

“The general public is always encouraged to support the troops by providing credible intelligence that will aid the operations,” he said.

“Consequently, in the early hours of Oct. 6, the pirates/militants compelled by the ongoing operation surrendered to the gallant troops and handed over the five kidnapped expatriates at Iwofe Waterfront"

All glory to God alone.

Very good.

Why are they active and strong in the south and weak in the north?

I smell something

I smell something

That's why I just shake my head at those booing soldiers over at Borno for being chicken hearted

But the truth is if only Military chiefs can be patriotic BH is just a month from going into extinction forever

They didn't talk about what happened to the kidnappers. They should be shown no mercy.

The military overran the militants base but the expatriates were handed over at the Iwofe Waterfront.
What sort of story is that ? They should just admit they paid a ransom.

That is the most likely scenario here.

Haba..what is happening In the south again na??

When they come to your country they're expatriates,
when you go to theirs you're immigrants.

when Nigerians learn how to use the English language, which the love more than life, heads will bust.

Also compel BH to surrender...

I have to give a big shout out to our Niger Delta goons, who have kept refining crude oil for decades when the federal government refinery runs at a loss. Who suppose arrest who?
