Arresting those guys and apprehending those barges will be a better option.

Or isn't it ironic the FG is proposing a clean up of the ND and at same time blowing up barges containing stolen crude huh
Attempting to arrest those guys and confesticating the cannoes has caused armed confrontation in the past and military men have been hurt.

Remember the boys in arepo who air force had to bomb,
these guys had a watch tower manned with a GPMG and a gun boat.

Everyone in Nigeria knows oil bunkering and illegal refinery is a federal crime and armed forces have been deployed to intercept with use of heavy force so why would individuals involve in such crime.

when are we going to start firing those northern folks mining and enriching themselves with our stolen solid mineral resources ? if those guys in desert can explore our resources without those useless NAF harassing and bombarding them... I think those oil thieves in the creek has the same right to stole crude oil, treat john the same way you treat James

This is so wrong. You can't kill people for stealing oil. This is not a crime of death! We are destroying our people
The fact that people cheer this on, and then complain about a nazi like Trump.

What value is there in destroying the oil? that muthafvcker Buhari is insane.

World abeg do quick end o. Our Nigerian forces are just dunces. Yes, I said it.
No tactics, no intelligent operation. Either they go in and kill everybody or do something else stupid.

How can you be blowing things anyhow without going through other strategies. Our national stupidity is appalling.

Why not silently see where the truck or trucks are going from the air; see if it is a pattern of the same routes, then you can see how much area of control those bandits/militants have, then use your ground game to understand better, see who the buyers are, if they are Nigerians or foreigners you still observe them with picture/video evidences, and at the right time, you strike them simultaneously. It might take months or a year. With this strategy, you can seize the oil from the source, avoid unnecessary environmental pollutions, seize their accounts, arrest a lot with proof, and increase the confidence of our citizens in your job, and foil or alter plans of other copy cats.

If you were born today, you possibly might not see a better Nigeria if you live to a 100. We and our collective intelligence don't mix like oil and water.
congrats intelligence officer you guys seem to have solutions to all th problems

How do you expect them to seize it from a helicopter?

Put some logic into these arguments, man!

They can radio in the location of the barges.... fly in troops to seize them. The oil can be off loaded at a legal port and the barges used by the military for other purposes. As it is now... the oil would leak out and contaminate the river and streams... people who use that water would be faced with health hazards... the fishes and other forms of life would be contaminated.... the fish you eat extra week may be one such fish... so no matter how far away you are..this can affect you. When the barges sink.... that stream would eventually be blocked and guess what would happen when it rains? All of this because of these dumb military people.
And what if there are no nearby troops to intercept?

Or if the area is so remote or filled with hostile millitants that any action will lead to casualties ?

Why do you think there will be significant pollution when much of the oil will be burnt off in the fire and explosion ?

Nearby or far away... you think there is no way the army can get to the scene? The area may be filled with militants and soldiers would-be killed... so they shouldn't go..... that's how cowards think. And you think with all the shooting most of the oil would not leak but just be there sitting and waiting to be burnt off? Your thinking is like that of the ones that gave the command to fire on the barges.

So you just blow up your whole house trying to kill 3 cockroaches? Abi, no be so?

What sense does it make to blow up barges and containers of oil lying in canals and simply waste all that oil, and further polluting our environment and waterways?
Couldn't there be a more sensible or better way to do both? Save the oil and yet capture the oil thieves and culprits and still bring them to justice? Kill 2 birds with one stone. Confiscate the oil and the containers. And capture and prosecute the criminals. Why can't Nigeria do both? They should not be mutually exclusive.

How is this is different from a man who sets fire to his house because he is trying to kill a rat?
Or a man who burns his entire kitchen down because he is trying to kill a few cockroaches?
This does not make sense at all. IT IS A COMPLETE TACTICAL BLUNDER! A very lazy response and a dumb solution to the problem.
What mumu military commander gave the order?

The army has done worse to the environment by their action. There are the immediate and remote causes of crime. This is the subject of criminal justice and administration. Government first reduce crime by enthroning good governance and welfare system for the downtrodden. Second, by ensuring proper protection of their property to foil any attempt on it and third by arresting defaulters.

Last I check, stealing do not carry maximum punishment. People that stole billions like IBB, Obansabjo, Jonathan and had caused many untimely death to their people, are still walking free on earth!

Not bothered by your petty insults, I recognize them as compensation for your sub-optimal IQ.

How do you stop an oil laden barge from an helicopter?

How do you know the water patrol boats were anywhere near the stolen oil barges?

Reply to these questions when the effects of the narcotics you're on wear off.

Of course the army can get to the scene. The question is TIME. What's the guarantee the barges would still be there when they arrive ?

Working to minimize casualties is smart thinking. You kids that grew up believing Rambo was real are the ones who prefer an approach that would be much less effective.

Any leaked oil would remain on the surface of the water and would have likely been burnt in the near instantaneous fire/explosion after the firing commenced.

I will ignore your childish attempts to insult your betters.
