It's hightime government look into this oil theft holistically.

It is now a massive industry in Nigeria.

Why is Africa such a den of waste. Why destroy something so valuable and expensive.

Na wetin make oyibo get sense, ona go think say na juju but no be juju, na because dem dey make use of their sense pass nigerians wey get black sense
Why you go destroy wetin you suppose make use of.
MUMU NIGERIANS

Botragelad:
How can the navy destroy 15,775 litres of crude oil without causing a massive environmental disaster? That's a lot of oil to just dump into the sea or burn off. Surely, they would have to find a way to safely dispose of it or return it to the rightful owners.

How can they estimate the value of the products to be N13,251,000? That's a very precise number for something that depends on the market price and the quality of the oil. How did they measure the quantity and the grade of the oil? Did they have a lab on board or did they just guess?

According to them, the wooden boat was intercepted about 12 nautical miles off the coast when they also say that the base will intensify surveillance within the axis? That's a huge distance to cover with a wooden boat. How did they track and intercept it? Did they have a radar or a satellite or did they just spot it with their eyes?

They claim the base is committed to stamp out the menace of COT and other crimes when they also say that they received intel on illegal bunkering within the axis? That means they already knew that there was a problem and they didn't do anything about it until now. How effective is their surveillance and intelligence?

This statement is a load of rubbish that doesn't add up. It sounds like the navy is trying to cover up their incompetence or corruption by making up a story that doesn't match the facts.

Can't they retrieve these oil and utilise it? Must what is stolen destroyed

Is that estimate thirteen million abi thirteen billion Naira? This news looks like more powerful thieves have stolen crude from less powerful thieves! What is the point of your security catching a car snatcher and burning the car ....to punish who exactly??

What is the sense of destroying the oil and polluting the environment instead of selling it for government revenue

Good and intelligent questions.
The Nigeria Navy have always been complicit in oil bunkering from all that have come out to speak.

Foolish Nigerian govt

Babangidapikin:
The navy should stop blowing up Vessel at sea , rather they should get a stock tank and supply modular refineries ... destroying water life is completely unacceptable.

You know we have no regards for aquatic life.
The anyhowness in Nigeria institutions is terrible

Perfect your skills of leaving this shit hole. Thanks.

Destroy? What happened to forfeiture? So who lost?

A thief stole your property, you caught the thief with your property or the thief ran away leaving your property, then you use your own machinery to destroy your own property ... What sense is in that?

I guess there is more to it... Why destroy? Abi somebody took 5,775 barrels from the 15000+ and declared they destroyed the 15000+?

Just asking ni o

One Cotonou boat barely ablaze is evidence of destroying 16k litres of crude?

Ogun wan kill una papa now

Even 50litres of crude poured on that boat will burn brighter than that

I can bet u it was confiscated and resold by them and then to cover up, they set an empty vessel or container on fire.

They can't make arrest because they know those who are in charge of the bunkering. The best they can do is destroy the crude oils and the ship to serve as an example for rest. Heads go roll if arrest is made and there is definitely no way they won't also be implicated.

Make dem try get sense for once abeg . What is the point of destroying resources like dis? Dangote refinery dey find crude oil, some modular refinery need am too why won't they sell am for them and bring the money into federal account instead of burning it like this?

lolu2019:
lol.who is going to believe that.

Definitely not me!!!

Destroy? Is this madness? How do we even think in this country? Who did you apprehend? Why destroy money like this?

mytime24:
Why destroy

Unfortunately, that is what the government is known for, the destruction of everything

BIG LIE, BIG LIE

They didn't destroy anything, don't mind them

Una lie pass Satan idiot

Destruction is better??

HenryWilliams:


Too much shalaye.
They know all about the oil bunkering and what not
The NN is notorious for partnering with oil thieves in the Niger Delta region.
They're also known for burning the vessels with cargo when deals go bad.

You must be an oil bunkerer.

Why destroy it....sell it and give return the money to govt or donate to dangote refinery make dem run am...or better still give am to boiz make them cook am.

Anybody should who believes Nigeria Navy must be silly

Sucre7:
Lies 🤣🤣🤣 we know how corrupt the Navy are. If eve they truly destroyed the crude they didn't destroy all. I know this for a FACT

I scrolled all the way to look for this comment.
You’re absolutely right

Can you pls convince me that all the crude oil was burnt, or gasoline was sprayed on the boat and simply lighted up.


Convince me.

Even , the boat can be seized and sold at auction to fishermen.

Ee, ndị a na-agba ara
ọ dị mkpa?!

Babangidapikin:

Supported. The modular refineries cannot get enough supply and you're destroying the one available? Besides the modular refineries will gladly pay government for the stolen crude instead of destroying it and polluting the environment at the same time.

AbuTwins:

Government can not look into nada because government is the thief.
Know this and know peace.
As for the destroyed crude, they are just deceiving themselves and some ignorant people.
Customs, immigration, Navy, NDLEA do not destroy seized items.
They sell them off and destroy the container along with a few expired items from their storage facilities.
That boat you see on fire will burn without the crude.
It's their way and it's very difficult to catch them because they have a "seize and destroy" mandate and everyone who is in the know of their practices get a share of the returns.
