Troops Destroy Massive Illegal Refinery In Delta State (photos) by Aonkuuse(op): 3:56pm On Aug 24, 2023

Troops of 6 Division Nigerian Army have continued to crack down on saboteurs of Nigeria's oil sector in South South Nigeria.

On 23 August 2023, troops conducting anti oil theft operations, responding to actionable intelligence swooped on an illegal oil refinery site in the general area of Ogbokoko and Atu in Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State. During the operations, troops destroyed 8 active Ovens used for illegal refining of stolen crude oil, 14 storage reservoirs containing stolen crude oil estimated at 200,000 litres and 90,000 litres of locally refined Automotive Gas Oil (AGO).

The oil thieves fled the scene, on sighting the advancement of troops. The Illegal refining site was destroyed in-situ in line with extant guidelines of Operation Delta Safe. Investigation is ongoing to arrest the fleeing criminals.

Members of the public are please implored to report any suspected act of sabotage or criminality to security agencies to enhance ongoing operations to curb economic sabotage in the country.

We just dey destroy and demolish things undecided

Why not bring the culprits to book and convert the refinery to government use?
Since they refine fuel of nice and high quality octane value, why not convert it to government property?
Even if the standards fall short, why can't it be upgraded?

Some of our security agents obviously conspire with these illegal refinery operators.

Someone is trying to do some cover up here, it's just unnecessary. We can learn from the local technique used to refine the crude common sense should tell us that.

1. What you call refineries are just "makeshift boilers" constructed to distill kpofire aka low quality diesel, kerosene and petrol.

2. Crude oil is stolen from compromised pipelines. This is the only motivation for the illegal business. Take away the awoof stock and they will all abandon the hazardous activity.

Destruction is the only option.

Where did you get this from?
You guys are fond of making assumptions on issue you have little expertise on.
First, it is not a refinery, it is a cooking pot operation.

Even you can set up a "refinery" in your backyard with few YouTube videos and Google links.

Aside the environmental hazard they cause, those oil cooking pots cannot be profitable in a normal market where the
operators have to buy crude oil at international price.
They are only profitable because of stolen crude oil.

Nigerians are suffering and wailing due to absence of a working refinery leading to rising fuel cost, while some fools in uniform are destroying a working refinery.

Because it is a bad idea.

Fuel refined in them illegal refineries is not good for your car's engine. Infact, it is a nice way to wreck your car's engine...slowly.

(Yes, the fuel in the refinereis may be of better quality than the fuel from Europe that we import. But the fuel from Europe are refined in bad substandard refineries kept open for our use....in order to keep costs of petrol low. And both are, in the long run, bad for the engine of our cars.

Better we get our legal refineries running.).

Destroying what you can't create? Why not call for proper regulation and registration of illegal refineries instead? It is well undecided
