SHELL has decried the rising incident of crude oil theft onits facilities in the Niger Delta region, saying it could force the company to shut down operations.

Managing Director of the oil giant Mr Mutiu Sunmonu who spoke weekend in Port Harcourt said the company was losing an average of 60,000 barrels of crude oil per day. Describing this as the highest volume of crude being stolen so far within the last three years, Mr Sunmonu said they started witnessing this upsurge since January this year.

“The situation in the last fewweeks is unprecedented. The volume being stolen is the highest in the last three years; over 60, 000 barrels per day from Shell alone. So, that for me is a great concern”, he said.


While appealing to the Joint Task Force to step up its fight against oil theft in the region, the Managing Director of the Anglo Dutch oil giant said there was urgent need for a concerted effort at the international and local level to fight the crime

Mr Sunmonu who did not rule out involvement of international syndicates in the crime said those behind it had started setting up tank farms, barge building yards and facilities to store the stolen crude before shipment.


“This whole crime has gotten a lot more sophisticated and you could see that the perpetrators are now setting up barge building yards, they are setting up storage facilities, they are setting up tank farms for storing the crude, prior to shipping out. So, if you look at all of these, it is very clear to me that this is not just an act by desperate individuals trying to make a living. This certainly is a wellfunded criminal activity, probably involving international syndicates”
Continuing, he called for concrete steps to address the worrisome situation, adding that he was deeply disturbed by the devastation on the environment arising from the activities of the oil thieves.
“…but I worry more about the devastation, the devastation for the people of Niger Delta, the destruction it will cause to the social and environmental aspect of the people of the delta and to Nigeria as a whole”
The oil giant in a statement circulated to newsmen at the end of the interaction with the Managing Director said it had to shut down production on twelve flow stations three times in February alone this year because of oil theft, adding that the situation caused deferment of production of 150 barrels on each day.
The statement said there had been increased attack on the company’s Nembe Creek Trunkline , NCTL

During an overfly Vanguard observed crude oil flowingon top of the water around the Nembe creek trunkline. Tanks used for refining some of the crude were littered around camps set up at the shore of the sea. Barges, canoes loaded with crude were visible from the height. Ironically, no security patrol around the area was noticed.

In reaction to Friday’s ruling of an Abuja High Court that President Goodluck Jonathan cancontest in 2015, the Northern socio-cultural group, Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF), has said it is not over yet. ACF said the ruling of the High Court was not an automatic ticket for the President to contest yet, until the apex court in the country says so.
The forum in its reaction throughits spokesman, Mr. Anthony N.Z. Sani, in Kaduna yesterday said the litigants would not rest until they ensure the court processes are exhausted. According to Sani, “you should know that the ruling is not the end of the court process.
Don’t you know the litigant will make sure they exhaust the court processes as laid down by the law? “You would recall it wasthe Supreme Court, which ruled that the periods served by the six governors before their re-runs must count. Left to the High Court and Appeal Court, such periods should not count, and those governors who had re-runs should serve more than the maximum eight years. “So, let us wait until the court processes are exhausted before you ask for ACF reactions on the court judgment that President Jonathan is eligible to contest in 2015,” ACF spokesman stated.

gratiaeo: The biggest thieves are decamping to APC, imagine Achike Udenwa, IBB etc.... Before you know it Atiku, Ciroma, Anenih etc will follow

Don't worry, they will be baptised into new creature.

Eko Ile: All this rubbish and acrobatic display just because you are too incompetent to answer a simple question?

Why can't you wait for your turn

[quote author=Ejiné] Like I said, Babapupa, wait your turn. I'll get to you. Go take your place in the queue first.
You're not on my radar yet.

[quote author=Ejiné]I'm going to tell you why I maintain he's an idiiot.

For starters, it was really funny he side-stepped the more pressing issues to focus on the minor.

He foolishly refused to ask himself why LASU is swarming with cultists in the first place.
He failed to ask himself why the school authorities have completely failed to tackle cultism in that school.
This Fashola failed to ask himself nothing was done about the boy in question when almost everyone who knew him knew he was an Airlord.
He refused to tackle the weak security apparatus in that school, and only chose to focus on OKADA?
Instead of asking himself WHY the cultist was even still a part of the school anyway, he was more focused on WHAT his killers were driving when they killed him, or HOW they escaped?

He was more interested in making them see reason with his decision to ban the okada, than about the state of cultism in LASU.

If your wife cheats on you and falls pregnant for another man, would you be asking about why the condom was of such inferior quality or would you be asking yourself why she cheated and why you even ended up with such a person in the first place?[/quote]I see no reason why fashola shouldn't be invited for questioning

[quote author=Ejiné]Bros, the point you're trying to make has already been used by others, AND blown open showing it has no credibility.

Funny you say they were able to escape because they were on Okada. Pray tell what ever happened to the numerous celebrated cars and bikes supplied by Fashola to the Police (which were so celebrated on Nairaland, or are you quick to forget?).

You guys are quick to excuse the lax security in that school, but virtually incinerated GEJ for the UN Bombing!

It is the double standards I have a problem with.

You hail Fashola for Lekky Toll Gate.
You hail Fashola for building houses for monarchs (WTF!)
You hail Fashola for building a water tap
You hail Amosun for his upcoming "Air-conditioned Bridge" - A phucking Air-conditioned bridge!!

But at the same time, you turn around and roast "Retardeen" for everything.
Oguta Lake Port is attacked
Onitsha Sea Port is attacked
The numerous power projects are attacked.
But the federal power project which Aregbesola tried to claim for himself by shamelessly calling it O-Power? Mba - You have no problem with that.

Una really think say una dey score points abi?[/quote]Their hypocrisy have assumed a new dimension, where "fashola can do no wrong"

[quote author=Ejiné] You're absolutely right I'm desperate for your posts.
They keep me entertained on what I'd call a very dull Saturday.

So keep giving me stuff to read and rip apart. You complete me. [/quote]Nwanne please have mercy, he's not your level

azimibraun: Btw fashola and fashola's critics me don't knw who b 2 trust cos both sides seem 2 b quick 2 score cheap points bt on this me kinda wanna use me head.. D question is dis, wll it b more difficult 2 carry out killings such as dis with d absence of okada riders or not? Wll it b easier 2 identify a killer on a private bike when they are no okadas than wen we hv okadas? Hw many private ppl use bikes in gidi? Wht abt d example of d Doctor killed using okada? And hw abt d north of naija wia boko use okada more 2 unleash terror? I don yarn b dat o!

S.tupid moto, Thisday, Madala, Asaba, warri, Oct 1st, and so many others okada's where far from sight. The last time I checked kidnappers never used okada, our leaders never ride on okada. We all have issues against okada, but for God sake don't brand then criminals. For we all know who the real criminals are, the ruling class: PDP, APC, and whatever they decide to call themselves.

The last time I checked kidnappers never used okada, our leaders that continually perpetuate evil against us never ride on okada. We all have issues against okada no doubt, but for God sake don't brand them criminals.

The hatred for one's nation seems to have assumed a new dimension.
