He further said some suspects arrested at the scene were still in the custody of the army as investigation continues.

“Few people have been arrested, they are in our custody, we hope they will give us useful information that would lead to the arrest of others that are involved in this act.”

Answering questions from newsmen, one of the suspects confessed to the crime, saying the wells belonged to different families in the community.

He revealed that sometimes diggers die in the process of digging the wells when they inhale the smell of the gas, saying they were usually paid about N40, 000 to excavate a well of about 15 feet.

The suspects, whose name was not revealed as of the time of filing this report, stated, “It is owned by the community and not by one person.

“To get oil, sometimes if the place is like here, we dig like 10 to 15 feet. When we dig it and notice that the gas is rising, if you do not run out on time people might suffocate and we bring them out half-dead, but the unlucky ones die.

“When we bring them out, we pour water on them and give them coke. After the gas the oil will come out and another set will come to fetch it after we have finished digging it.”

Good job by the Army.
Some people will still come here to call Tinubu a criminal, while their governors and state officials are unaccountable. In Nigeria, those waiting to steal are more than those who are currently stealing indeed.

Secondly, tell this nairalander to stop posting AI picture of "Ebin pa wa". Otherwise he will eventually die of hunger.

Jesus loves you all.

There are many thieves in Nigeria but Tilumbu is the greatest criminal. A drug criminal for that matter.

Wow.... Nice one

But have fail to make arrests over the numerous mining sites scattered across northern and even western Nigeria.

Or maybe the oil is for all of us, but the solid minerals is for their regions.

Those well were shared among the major families in that community, that's how they've been helping themselves since the government can't make it possible for locals to benefit from their God given natural resources

Elites and politicians have finished the country, enjoying Paradise on Earth, while poor citizens believe in heavenly enjoyment and keep smiling in poverty.

Re: Army Uncovers 40 Wells Where Oil Thieves ‘Fetch’ Crude Oil by RevenuesBoost(f): 1:18pm On Feb 29

Army should concentrate on kidnappers and bandits and leave those hungry boys to feed their families with their land's resources that government don't want to share the money with it's citizens.

Nobody should attack my comment o, I don't support them stealing from the government but the government is indirectly stealing from us.

So it's 1-1
