The Defence Headquarters says troops of Operation Delta Safe have discovered and deactivated a total of 69 illegal refining sites in different parts of the Niger Delta region of the country.

The Acting Director, Defence Media Operation, Brig.-Gen. Bernard Onyeuko, disclosed this while giving update on the military operations across the country between Sept. 2 and Sept. 30, in Abuja.

Onyeuko disclosed that the sites had a total of 79 ovens, 77 cooking pots/boilers and 76 cooling systems, 48 large dugout pits and 246 storage tanks as well as drums and sacks.

He said the sites were cumulatively laden with 2.1 million litres of illegally refined AGO as well as 1,300 tons and 4.5 million litres of stolen crude oil.

According to him, troops on maritime patrol intercepted a vessel identified as ‘MT Akemijoe Bunker 1’ without a Maritime Mobile Service Identity or NIMASA document in the south of Bartholomeo River.

“The vessel which was laden with 150,000 litres of AGO was arrested and handled appropriately.

“Troops of Operation Delta Safe have continued to sustain the tempo in its anti-illegal oil operations to forestall economic saboteurs in the South-South Zone.

“Some of the operations recorded significant results at different locations in Rivers, Bayelsa and Delta States within the period in focus,” he said.
