Military Troops apprehend 62 Suspected Oil Thieves, Confiscate Over 350,000 Litres
In a sustained military operation against oil theft and pipeline sabotage in the Niger Delta, troops of the 6 Division,
Nigerian Army, have intensified their clampdown on illegal refining activities, recording major successes across four states—Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, and Akwa Ibom.
Rivers State saw the most significant breakthrough, with the deactivation of six illegal refining sites around an abandoned wellhead in Joinkrama 4, Ahoada West Local Government Area.
The troops also seized six ovens, reservoirs, and receivers containing over 300,000 litres of stolen crude oil and 21,000 litres of Automotive Gas Oil (AGO).
